| Publisher Description: Working with and devising quality educational resources for "Generation M"--today's group of teens and young adults born in the early 1980s through the mid 1990s--can be a challenge. You'll find a comprehensive introduction and overview of Gen M, including key term definitions, background information, and a clear idea of the scope of issues facing educators charged with teaching and working with this age group. The authors cover popular online tools like Facebook Wikipedia, YouTube, and Google, many of which play a large role in Gen M information retrieval, and also address key educational theories and provide instruction for creating lessons and learning objects that can be used in both traditional and online educational environments. Examples of current best practices are provided, along with corresponding instruction for designing and implementing them in your library or classroom. |
