21st century students have more connections than any previous generation. With devices such as laptops, smartphones, IPad's etc., students can retrieve data and connect with family, peers and anyone in the world at anytime and anywhere. The world is literally at their fingertips. There's a great difference between today's generation of young students compared to when I was in school. When I was in elementary school, a typical classroom did not have devices such as laptops, netbooks, SmartBoards and IPad's for use of research projects etc. We simply used the good old dictionary, encyclopedias and books... we made sure the librarian was our best friend. Students and teachers are very fortunate to have such quick access to information today. Above is a display of my interpretation of a 21st century connected learner.
