A Learning Theory for 21st-Century Students
نویسنده
چکیده
According to a 2008 Pew report, 97% of American teens aged 12-17 play computer, console, or cell phone games, and three-fourths of these teens play them with others at least some of the time (Lenhart et al. 2008). 93% use the Internet, 61% go online daily, and 51% create content that others can view online (Lenhart et al. 2007). Eleven million students under the age of 18 use MySpace (Owyang 2008). The site myYearbook, a social networking site created specifically for 12to 17-year-olds, boasts 7 million members (Loten 2008). In short, many, perhaps even most, of the current generation of learners are enmeshed in connective technologies.
