Teaching Millennials

 Establish learning outcomes: You could even get students to make a video of it!
 Create collaborative experiences: You can create class blogs and wikis to do
this. Social networking platforms are also a great way to collaborate. You could
start a closed group on Facebook, for instance.
 Mix up the methods: Video clips, PowerPoint with short bullets or other tools that
will hold the attention of the learner.
 Deliver knowledge in small dose: Ten minutes is as long as you’ll be able to hold
millennial's interest. So keep switching every 10 minute anecdote.
 Make it meaningful: Tie the lessons up with current events, and establish real life
experiences.
