I saw this awhile back and thought it was quite relevant to this course and teaching. Millennials do get a bad rep and whether that is fair or not is up for debate. Simon brings up a lot of interesting points about this generation and why they act like they do. I have to admit that even though I am not technically considered a millennial I can be guilty of some of the things he talks about on occasion. As teachers it is important to understand our students, and since we will be teaching this generation we may as well educate ourselves more! Let me know what you guys think.

I saw this video a number of months ago as well and I agree with most of what he is saying. Thanks for sharing again! We do have to look past our own "rose coloured lenses" and see through the eyes of the millennials. We can only teach our best if we know how the students learn best.
