teaching Gen Y (part III)
Key #1: Don't Talk Down to Them
Key #2: Keep it Short and Sweet: if you can't make your point in 30 seconds or less, you probably can't make it at all.
Key #3: Make Your Topic Introductions Sizzle
Key #4: Don't Get Offended At Other Activities: if you see your GenY students texting and emailing as you present material to them, don't be offended. They are multitasking. They are doing what they do everywhere, as natural as breathing. Although it could mean that you are either taking too long to make your point, or the information you are presenting does not apply to them
Key #5: Keep Up The Pace: always checking faces, body language, and of course direct questions for clues to your speed.
Key #6: Customize the Presentation Directly to Students' Needs: "What's In It For Me," -- ask the question, "What is it that you are hoping to learn today" to gear the class direction.
Key #7: Use Body Language and Other Clues to Balance Mixed Groups: ( a mixed group of GenY students and other generations.) Ask the group, "How is this pace for you?" Or, "Would you like to practice this concept?" Direct questions can also be helpful in keeping you aware of the group's involvement.
