Kids
see things differently. That’s because a tsunami – a
great wave of information is swelling and rolling toward them,
surrounding them and compelling them.
From the multiplicity of cable and satellite channels, to the bulging
magazine racks, to text and e-mail capable phones, blogs, and, perhaps
most obviously, to the Internet and its crown jewel, the World
Wide
Web - it's a great wave of information.. It doesn’t
matter who you teach, you’re forced to deal with a world
in which your students are surrounded and bombarded with so much
information,
they
hardly know they’re being bombarded and influenced. You’re
in competition with seductive media information forces. It doesn’t
matter who you teach; you’re
faced with students who see the world from within a fast paced and
glitzy tsunami no one saw coming.
If you're
a teacher anywhere, you've got to deal with it. And, if you're not
having fun, you're not being the best teacher you can be.
Herein
find ways to enjoy your teaching profession and deal with a tsnunami.
