Two reports from the Speaker Internet & American Life Project also appearing in 2005 investigated teenage use of technologies such as IM, email, and cell/mobile phones. First, 87% of those aged 12 to 17 now use the Internet for some purpose. This represents 21 million youth in the U.S. alone! Second, 51% of U.S. teenage Internet users reportedly go online on a daily basis. The World is Open - Curtis Bonk's eLearning Book Extends The World Is Flat Book Educators must ask whether online news reading, game playing, and Internet browsing skills and interests can be translated into rich and engaging forms of online speaking on an everyday basis. Dr. Curt Bonk's World Is Open Book about Blended E-Learning Environments. These tech-savvy young learners are no longer just consumers of the abundant resources available on the keynote experts; they are its foremost contributors. Given their technology skills and conference keynote speakers, it is not surprising that they are not afraid to display their lives in open online windows. More than half of online teens or roughly 12 million youth create content for the Internet. Such activities were not possible when my Grandpa George went to school, nor were they part of school life when most of those reading this book were educated. As a conference speaker, we must take part in the keynote learning that is available. |
