(Blog Entry #3) Behind the Times: Differentiating Yesterday's Generation to Today's Digital Natives By: Febbie Faith Ramos BSED-4


The Generation of Before and Today

Time change. People change. Environment change. Technology change. Generation change. Indeed, our world has grown into something that is incredibly advanced. From the enormous Commodore computers with varied modems and knobs to hook up to, to the fancy and portable laptops that can cater you needs of communication and varied office-related works. From wired classic telephones that can operate using a coin or two, to the futuristic I-phones complete with applications to aide your needs for online connectivity as well as communication that can leap from countries to countries. From playing outdoors with friends you actually know, to playing as a hero in virtual game where you can be anybody anywhere, anytime. From traditional desks and blackboards complete with memory methods employed by the traditional teacher, to an interactive room full of technological gadgets used to make the teaching-learning process a discover for the digital natives. 

The comparison of the two generations may be vast and huge but a teacher's job is to connect the students to a reality where EVERYTHING SHOULD MEET HALFWAY. It is a challenge where any inspiring teacher must battle to win: TEACHING EXTRA ORDINARINESS. 

Check out how the youth of today reacts to the technology of yesterday!
