The experience of learning or conducting research on the web is radically different from that of classroom learning or library research. As we're all now aware [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the Internet you type a search string, the results of which show you hundreds or thousands of potential information sources-not just text but also video, audio, and graphics. You click on links that, in turn, have other links you can follow. You may find the name of a person or book or issue that you want to learn more about, and so you conduct a new search, which leads you to a new treasure trove of information and images, with countless additional links. It is an active, dynamic, nonlinear, discovery-based process-more like traveling along a spider web than moving in a straight line from point A to point B. As John Seely Brown writes: "Most of us experienced forma learning in an authority-based, lecture-oriented school. Now [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with incredible amounts of information available through the web, we find a 'new' kind of learning a
Once they're on the Internet looking for information [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Net Gen students develop a vital proficiency in what John Seely Brown calls "information navigation." According to Brown, "The real literacy of tomorrow entails the ability to be your own personal reference librarian-to know how to navigate through confusing, complex information spaces and feel comfortable doing so. 'Navigation' may well be the main form of literacy for the 21st century."
Young adults who've grown up on the net are habituated to multimedia learning experiences, as opposed to merely interacting with text. According to the Oblingers, "Researchers report Net Gen students will refuse to read large amounts of text, whether it involves a long reading assignment or lengthy instructions. In a study that altered instructions from a text-based step-by-step approach to one that used a graphic layout, refusals to do the assignment dropped and post-test scores increased." My interviews with students, as well as with their high school and college teachers, confirm that students are increasingly impatient with the lecture style of learning and the reliance on textbooks for information and crave more class discussions.
Learning as Discovery
The Desire to multitask and be constantly Connected to the net and to friends as well as the hunger for immediate results influence how young people today interact with the world -- whether in school or at work or at home or while traveling -- and must be taken into account by both educators and employers. However, the ways in which young people are different today as learners may be the most fundamental change we need to understand as we consider hot to close the global achievement gap. The use of the internet and other digital technology has transformed both what young people learn today and how they learn.
Learning Through Multimedia and Connection to Others
The Net Generation much prefers doing research on the Internet rather than in stacks of library books -- in part, because of the very different experience it offers. "Prose is supplemented by song. Photographs are accompanied by video. Issues are even turned into online polls and discussions. For the Net Gen, nearly every part of life is presented in multimedia format," writes Carie Windham. "To keep our attention in the classroom, a similar approach is needed. Faculty must toss aside the dying notion that a lecture and subsequent reading assignment are enough to teach the lesson. Instead, the Net Generation responds to a variety of media, such as television, audio, animation, and text."
And as UCLAs Jason Frand observes, today's college students want to be connected to others, as well as to different kinds of information sources, while they learn. "Students with an information-age mindset expect education to emphasize the learning process more than a canon of knowledge. They want to be part of learning communities, with hubs and spokes of learners, rejecting the broadcast paradigm of television (or the note-taker in the lecture hall.)"''
