What is it like to look our from the eyes of your students? What are there life experiences? Take a look at the Mindset List from Beloit College to get an idea of what a student born around 1987 has and has not heard of. Here are a few items from the list. For your students:
- The U.S. has always been a Prozac nation.
- Bill and Ted have always been on an excellent adventure.
- Computers have always suffered from viruses.
- Castro has always been an aging politician in a suit.
Beloit College has not yet released the list for students entering higher education in 2005, but the Class of 2008 list is still up, so you might want to take a look before meeting your classes for the first time this week.
