On Friday, I attended a conference that was focused on teaching millennial students. As a millennial and as a researcher on millennial issues, I was very pleased with the content that was presented in the workshops and the keynote speech.
During the conference, the following topics were addressed:
- Virtual Textbooks
- Social Networking Websites
- Instant Messenger & Virtual Office Hours (My Workshop)
- Usage of Wikipedia in Student Research
- Usage of YouTube in the Classroom
- Blackboard
- Usage of U.S. Census Website in the Classroom
- Why College Students Do Not Read Textbooks
- Podcasting Lectures
- Text Messenging in the Classroom
- Academic Integrity of Millennial Students
- The Millennial Mindset List (Beloit)
- Twitter and Skype in the Classroom
Overall, the conference was very interesting and I hope that the university continues to offer such informative and intriguing information to the faculty and staff.
As a millennial professor, I was inspired to continue my research and to spread knowledge to other professors about my interesting generation.
