[quote=Anonymous]I teach college students and have done so for about 20 years now. I think they represent pretty much the same range of creativity and intelligence as they always have. Post internet they--on average--are more sophisticated in some ways--draw on higher level sources, know how to integrate sources better, and show more judgment about quality of sources. I used to have to do more teaching of this. I do think attention spans are different now than they used to be and students are accustomed to taking in information in formats they prefer rather than relying too much on lectures. I think I've become a better teacher as a result of this, though. I can imagine it might be a shock if you took a hiatus, but that's probably true of all jobs--what you knew that worked well 5-10 years ago isn't going to cut it now. [/quote]
