| contents | A Vision for the Net Generation Media Center. Media Matters Johnson, Doug School Libraries Technology Integration Computer Uses in Education Learning Resources Centers Educational Media Library Services Library Materials Many children today have never lived in a home without a computer. They are the "Net Generation," constantly "connected" by iPod, cell phone, keyboard, digital video camera, or game controller to various technologies. Recent studies have found that Net Genners see technology as "embedded in society," a primary means of connection with friends, and helpful in solving both personal and academic problems. These kids expect fast communication responses, tune out when things are not interesting, and may be more visually than verbally literate. The studies also show that today's students believe that "teachers are vital," "computers cannot replace humans," and motivation is critical in learning. They like group activities, believe that building social skills is a part of schooling, identify with their parents' values, and feel that it is "cool to be smart." They prefer inductive discovery rather than being told what they should know--they want to learn by doing rather than simply listening or reading. This author contends that schools will be more productive if educators acknowledge the unique attributes and preferences of the Net Generation and adapt educational environments to suit students instead of trying to change their basic natures. This article focuses on these implications in regard to Net Generation library media centers, giving suggestions for both the electronic and physical resources that should be available to students. |
