Post received from Roohi…<\/p>\n
I recently saw my 11-year-old nephew (Year 7) whilst visiting relatives.<\/p>\n
When I walked into the living room, he was on his mobile phone, had his laptop open, and also had an iPad next to the laptop.<\/p>\n
I said to him \u201cyour Daddy told me that you are supposed to be doing homework!\u201d<\/p>\n
To my surprise, he answered \u201cI am Auntie Roohi! My friend is on the phone, the other one is Skyping me on my iPad and we are all working together on a piece of work on the laptop\u201d.<\/p>\n
My nephew, I repeat, is 11-years-old. I was flabbergasted.<\/p>\n
Perhaps others will not be, but I was amazed at how he was multi-tasking, whilst at the same time expertly using the technology to facilitate his groupwork.<\/p>\n
These very technologically savvy children will be our students in less than 7 years, at which point they will be even more technologically advanced than today.<\/p>\n
Are we ready for them?<\/p>\n
I speak purely for myself when I say, I honestly don\u2019t think so and I myself currently work in eLearning\u2026..<\/p>\n
For me, the big conversation needs to be dominated by online and eLearning platforms.<\/p>\n
In this increasingly competitive environment, we must also fully engage with social media platforms to invite these students from Year 7 onwards to our University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
