21st Century Learners - Engage or Enrage Arguement

As future teachers we are kidding ourselves if we think students are just going to sit there and listen to the wisdom we impart!!! Haha!!!  We need to embrace technology and this concept of eLearning.  One definition I liked was Learning that is facilitated by the use of digital tools and content. Typically, it involves some form of interactivity, which may include online interaction between the learner and their teacher or peers.  Students today are constantly online, chatting, on their mobiles and looking up new information.


With this in mind we need to find new ways to present learning so the students stay motivated and want to engage.  If we don't then they will become enraged and this will present a multitude of behaviour management issues!
