Generational Divide. Awesome job guys. Love the video. I'm embedding it below too.

Are We Really "The Dumbest Generation?" on Prezi



Here is a great blog, History Vs. Future, that surveys a member of the Baby Boomers, Gen X, and a Millenial generations. Plus, the designer attempted to use as many technological features as she could (video taping with her phone, uploading to youtube, poll everywhere, and so on). It is an amazing concept.

Here is a blog, Sociology, where the student wanted to use a blog and hyperlinks to make her college Sociology class more relevant and meaningful via technology.  Boy, did she succeed!  How great would it be for these millennials to go off to college and get workstudy positions for their professors, where they can take the stuffy content of their courses and make it more appealing to other students via digital media.

Here is another blog, Our Small, Flat World. This is a great blog that illustrates how easily it is to be connected and gather information in this flat world of ours.

Here are several prezis that my students developed to respond to Bauerlein. Thanks to Mr. Zutz for introducing them to Prezi.

Finally,  here is a slideshow that I created for a summer technology class that I teach.  It's called "Engaging the Millennials: 20 apps/cites I can't teach without."

Look at it and see if one of the apps/sites might be the basis for your project.
