Visions of the Students of Today and K-12 Students

The groups of students in both clips have much in common. Both state they live in a digital age. Because of this, much of the student's time is taken up by TV, video games, and computer activities. Both groups presented that the jobs they will have in their adult lives are likely to be jobs that don't currently exist. Both videos state the current education system is lacking in hands-on, learn-by-doing activities.
The older students, however, feel more "lost in the crowd" than the K-12 students. Their class sizes are immense and their instructors seldom know the students' names. The K-12 students also seemed to have parents who were more tech-savvy, although the older kids might be as well. This could potentially show that parents of today's young children are products of the information revolution, while older parents might still be out of the "loop"
