Tapscott Part Two

The second part of the book made me think that I wasn't crazy when I was in high school or college for liking teachers that taught differently than most. In this part of the book Tapscott talks about how the "Net Geners" learn differently compared to what others are used to. Which completely explained why I would enjoy a class that was more engaging than one where the teach just spouted words to memorize. After reading this I had wished that all my teachers from the past had read this book before and learned from it before teaching me. It may be selfish, but I am fine with being selfish on this topic.

Something I did notice was that after coming to college is in most of my classes I am learning more and easier than I did in High School. I think the main reason for this is due to the fact that I myself am pursuing a major that is based on technology itself. Therefore, any professors I have to teach my a technology must be themselves familiar with all types of technology. This causes the teachers to teach different than the simple take notes while I talk method.
