2. The older
generation
often feels
there is a gap
between them
and the
younger
generation.
This apparent
in simple
things like the
manner of
dressing,
socializing,mor
e intimate
relationships
like friendship
and marrying.
3. Even in education,
traditional schooling has
hardly changed even with
the clear evidence of a
digital world.
Reflect on
how some
teachers
confine their
teaching to
the board talk
test method.
4. UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIALS OF ICT:
1. The new network of
instantaneous
communication is global,
overcoming borders
between countries and
continents. ???
5. 2. Much of what
elders believe may
not be applicable
anymore to the new
generation,
especially along the
matters of traditional
value system.
6. 3. Alvin Toffler’s book, Future
Shock, shows how the
information age has begun to
create many cultural changes an
the family, societies, businesses,
governments such as what he
calls the throw- away society,
modular man, kinetic image,
scientific tragectory, fractured
family, surfeit of subcults,
psychological dimension, etc.
7. Given the speed and
power of ICT for change,
growth and innovation, it
becomes critical that
teachers understand the
gap that may be perceived
between them and the new
generation of learners.
Much of the old technology
such as tube radio, platter
records, cassette tapes,
celluloid movies, antenna
television, landline
phones, have vanished or
are quickly vanishing
today.
8. Since the generations are
expected to face a future
professional challenge of a
digital world ahead of them,
technolgy supported skills
need to be taught in
schools today, or else
schools will become a white
elephant.
9. If schools fail to respond to
emergent changes and needs,
new learners may lose
appreciation of the
educational system, and drop
out rate every year. Learning
at home and availing digital
learning systems like the Open
Universities may save the day,
but the situation remains bleak
for schools stolidly adhering to
the old educational system.
