how teachers could change their style of teaching using Tapscott's Norms to make lessons more appealing and easier to learn for today's learners.
Teachers need to take ideas from Tapscott's eight net gen norms. They can be used in many ways to help teachers get their lesson across more effectively.
Using the same methods of teaching that have been used for many years is not going to be effective. Technology is changing all the time and education needs to change with it.
There are many ways technology could be used in education. Schools could use lap tops in class. We do this in speech class and I think it is a good step in using technology at school. Lap tops can be used for taking notes and doing research for homework. They can be very helpful tools in learning. Using lap tops makes class more interesting and being able to use technology is an important skill in modern times.

Eight Net Gen Norms
The first expectation of the net gen is freedom. Net gen users expect the freedom to be able to be connected where ever they are.
The second expectation of net gen users is customization. The net generation expect to be able to customize almost everything. Cell phones are able to be customized with the background, ring tone, and many other options.
The third expectation of net gen users is scrutiny. Net generation users use a lot of scrutiny when online shopping. They expect to be able to make and read comments from other shoppers that will help them decide which products to buy.
The fourth expectation of net gen users is integrity. They expect people to be honest and be polite on the internet.
The fifth expectation is collaberation. They expect to be able to work with others on the internet for many different things.
The sixth expectation is entertainment. Entertainment makes up a big part of the internet with websites like youtube and other social networking sites like facebook.
The seventh expectation is speed. They expect everything to go fast and get mad when it does not.
The last expectation is innovation. Net gen users expect everything to be changing and improving all the time. This is why cell phone companies are always improving phones and making new versions of them.
