Hi folks,
I've only gotten through the first couple of chapters of this, but so far it
is very good in describing the learning styles and preferences of the
"Millennials." The authors have synthesized a good deal of research done by
Pew and others. While the book is written for a post-secondary teaching
audience, it's valuable for us as well.
I was pleased to see that our current students value face-to-face
interactions and flesh and blood teachers!
All the best.
Doug
