Teaching Millennials: What do Residents Really Want?![]() Larry Chu, Assistant Professor of Anesthesia at Stanford presented a General Session talk about Millennial students and their unique learning needs and expectations at the SEA Spring 2010 meeting in Pittsburgh. Dr. Chu will explore the relationship between computer technology and various generations of Americans, including matures, baby boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials. He will discuss how society's relationship to technology changed dramatically during the formative years of the Millennial generation, leading to unique learning characteristics of students from this generation. Dr. Chu will discuss various ways educators can engage Millennial students using online technologies and why it is important that educators learn about technology. You can view the talk online (MS Silverlight required), by iTunes Audio Podcast, or iTunes Video Podcast. Several SEA members have written me in recent days with links to additional articles that discuss possible negative effects of technology on mental performance. I provide a link to some of these articles below (thanks to Drs. Williams and Balzer for sending me these articles): Last Updated (Friday, 20 August 2010 17:08) |
