1. Personalized and
“On Demand Generation”
of Learners

2. We Can Remember Waiting
• Waiting for our favorite song on
the radio; waiting for our favorite
song on track 3 of the 8 track tape
• We use to wait for our TV Show;
now we record it and fast forward
through commercials

3. We Can Remember Waiting
• We use to wait to speak to someone
when they were in a meeting; now we
can text them and have an answer to
our question when its needed
• We use to wait for the dial-up modem
to get online and could even get busy
signals; now we have 24/7 wireless
access anytime and anywhere available

4. However, We don’t wait anymore…
We even have FAST FOOD

5. Elementary students are
growing up in a world where
they have never had to wait.
• They listen to their favorite song
on their iPod

movies “on demand”

iPad and even have it read to them

6. Elementary students are
growing up in a world where
they have never had to wait.
• Kids download and play games
from a phone

wirelessly (24/7)

7. Kids are growing up and living in
the “On Demand” generation
It’s a generation that has
constant access to what
we used to wait for.

8. So, how do we go about
teaching this generation?

9. Does telling these students that
they’ll have to wait for the
dinosaur unit, or read one
specific book at a particular time,
or stop with addition when they
are ready for multiplication
work?

10. How will students feel about a
learning experience not tailored
to their interests?
Or not delivered by digital tools
that they use in their daily lives?

11. How will CISD address the “On
Demand” Generation?
• Use of the CISD Digital Bloom's
resources
• The resources will ensure that
educators are providing personal
digital experiences for students and
helping them develop higher levels of
thinking

12. Today’s Classroom
•With the increased rigor of state
testing standards, teachers must
manage their classroom time in
order to ensure they are covering
the CISD scope and sequence
according to the time outlined in
the pacing calendars.

13. Today’s Classroom
•In addition, they must
appropriately understand how
to enhance the Instructional
Focus Documents to include
21st Century Skills in the
student activities to improve
student thinking and learning.

14. Teachers’ Needs
•With the technological changes in
society and the exponential increase
of digital information, these resources
provide powerful tools to fit today's
teachers' needs. The resources
provide a clear, concise, and visual
representation of the alignment
between levels of thinking,
educational objectives, and student
digital activities.
