"Students are currently enjoying the last gasps of summertime in most countries right now. They’re outside, engaging in social activities, and constantly on the move. So what would happen if these students were thrown into a slow-moving and old-fashioned classroom? The students would get distracted, disconnected, and feel lost.' This post explores the term "digital native" and has a short video that may get you "more excited about engaging active learners."

What is an active learner? This video provides one look at what a learner might look like today. In additon to the video there is also a SlideShare that would allow you to show the "video" at a pace that allows discussion, and a number of visual images that also explore the active learner. The visuals include Engaging an Active Learner that shares ways students learn (and do not learn), Open Your Laptop to Page 3, Learning Goes Digital: Electronic Education Moves to Head of the Class and many others.
These materials were created by an Agency working for Blackboard (a content management system). Using either the video or a number of the visuals would provide a opportunity for teachers, parents, or other small groups to discuss why education is undergoing a seismic change in many areas.
