The Gap Widens

I'm not sure when it starts.

When I first realized it, I dismissed it. It was what it was. But it continued to happen. It's a gap of experience with those who are younger. The more the gap widens, the more noticeable it is. Immersed in the immediacy of their own experience, they are blind to mine. All they know is what they know. Myths without feeling. I've passed on to the other side. My experiences are becoming invisible.

Whether it be live in a classroom or on a computer in an on-line course, the responsibility remains the same. Engage, motivate, retain, connect the content to measurable goals.

Unless one is planning to be on Jeopardy, just to know is just that.

If I know how my boiler works when I ask for the $10 question in the Boiler's category, I'm a winner. But if my boiler stops working and I know how it works? I'm warm.

To note, technology can only give back what you put into it. The iPad is not our savior. An iPad is an iPad.

It's in the water tower!
