I liked that he had statistical evidence and he is right: teens and adults use social networks differently and not always for the same reasons. I have two teens who can barely email, though they are on facebook and msn everyday. In my teaching experience I see young people who use social media. Very few think about what social media means. To them, it simply "is". They have no comparator experience. For most Canadian young people the Internet has been around as long as they could read and write and view. There are some very creative digitial content producers in the Fanshawe student group; however, right now they are not the majority of students (unless you count facebook updates as digitial content). All in all , Kochis' presentation lingers and is causing me to re-think how I approach some assignments or lessons in various courses. I'll check out the Tammy Erickson generational differences information you suggest. I have seen several formal presentations on this topic. - Thanks for the suggestion Yes I did see Jonathon’s presentation and thought it was very effective.

I agree with your comments above about education. It can't be just teacher driven anymore - new education requires learner participation and learner leadership. Here is a link to an article that I think supports your perspective. In particular the chart created by the Gronstead Groupon the third or fouth page of the .pdf encourages a more engaged learner centred approach for education: http://www.gronstedtgroup.com/pdf/T%2BD%20Dec%2008,%20Gronstedt.pdf Tapscott's "Grown-up Digital" also supports this perspective.
