Are You Ready for the 21st Century? : Quick Response


Hello English 10:

Since school is almost out and you'll be set free for the summer, I wanted to ask you a couple questions before you go. Are you ready for the 21st Century? Do you feel that you're ready for junior year? What are some improvements you would like to see in our school curriculum?


Read this article/student survey about the "iGeneration" and their readiness for the 21st century.

After reading this write and post at least a paragraph answering the questions: Are you ready? Do you think that distance learning and online electives are a good idea? What would make your learning experience even more engaging?

Take this seriously. I don't want to hear about how you may want to spend the school day listening to your iPod, texting on your phone, or playing video games. That's not going to happen! But, if you give us teachers some tangible and real ideas we may be able to incorporate your good ideas!

Cheers!
Ms. Young
