eLearning Media: Day 1 TEAC 880

eLearning 4.0

1. One thing I realized was I didn't know what some words were.  But I realized from today's class that there is probably an app for that, so I googled "Chrome apps for definition" and came across Google Dictionary (by Google) and installed that.  How nice!  Definitely need to add that to the list of tools!
2. Now I know what the definition of SCORM is!
3. Is eLearing 2.0 the same as web 2.0?  Stupid question and I should google.
4. I haven't got done eLearning 1.0, much less eLearning 3.0! :)

eLearning 4.0:  Will include more performance tracking and analysis, will be more mobile (look at Getting Mobile Learning Right: 6 Best Practices), will be more personalized, and will include gamification.

**Include definitions of eLearning 1, 2 and 3

Who are these kids? (Gen Z)

The graphic above was included in the video that described the various generations with new technology in each.  Had never thought of it that way before! 

It reminded me of the YouTube that was shared in the introductory section →

"Plenty of people predicted that television would turn us into a society of slack-jawed zombies"... Interesting prediction I hadn't heard before!

A couple other interesting quotes: "Clearly, there is money to be made mining the propensities of this group."

"Yes, this generation communicates almost entirely through screens and not always with actual words (GIFs, videos and emoji also do the trick). Gen-Z’ers are less idealistic and more thrifty than millennials, having grown up in the twin shadows of the recession and student debt crisis. When it comes to privacy on social media sites such as Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr or Twitter, the survey showed that teens are far less guarded than millennials and Gen X members. Members of Gen Z think that everyone should get a smartphone at age 13 and that it is acceptable to use it basically anywhere — at a family dinner, during a religious service, even at weddings (even their own weddings, the survey shows.)"

"They are the most racially diverse generation in American history. They are extremely open-minded and fluid in the way they think about gender and sexuality. Because their digital movements are so trackable, they are prone to being data-mined and stereotyped — yet surveys show that they prize individuality over conformity."

Tech EDGE videos - this looks like a good Playlist to start with!
