The Net Generation

In order for me to be sucessful with the net generation I will need to be able to access the tools that are readily available for me to use.  The net generation thinks and acts alot different from my generation.  I want to be able to adapt and communcate with them through technology.  Today's views are headed more and more towards communicating through texting, emails, blogs, twittering, and various other methods.  The RSS feeds and social bookmarking are very convenient ways to save information and help assist with websearching.  I have found that all of these new technolgies have increased my social communication with others and I have found what we may have in commom via websearches,  research, and books, etc.  If I do not have the tools needed to keep up with technology and my peers, I will fall behind and not be a good and interesting teacher. I look forward to learning more about the net generation and what they could offer me .  I wiil continue to try and keep an open mind about ways to use these technologies in my classroom and life.
