Week+10

__** Week 10 **__ __ “Attributes of Digital Learners” Article __
 * Because students and the world are now different, schools and teachers also need to be different
 * Need to create a digital culture at schools so students transition to and from it easier into their digital world/culture outside of it
 * As teachers need to tap into students new uniquely rewired brains in order to facilitate learning
 * Schools and the ways students learn have to be changed so that students can interact with them well, as they have developed “hyperlinked minds”, where their brains process information in a parallel or simultaneous manner, and not in a sequential or linear manner like brains have traditionally functioned
 * Have to integrate visuals as much as possible, since “the eye processes and interprets the content of photographs 60,000 times faster than the eye processes and interprets the content of text”
