One quick observation is that the kids I interact act with and teach are quite facile at switching from one task or idea to another. It's hard sometimes for me to keep up with them (I think that some other adults would consider this indicative of ADHD). nkilkenny - I've been reading a lot about the so-called generational differences. There was an interesting article in Wired about kids views of email (gist is that they think it's sooooo lame). What was amusing was reading all the comments to the article. Lots of what I would call irritation (sometime bordering on actual anger) among what I think are from the older folks ... essentially pooh-pooing the notion of having to accommodate the youth in their fad-like behaviors.

Do you think people are so PO'ed by this quiz because American culture is so youth-culture oriented? You're right on with bridging between learning styles. Approaching training to incorporate all generations and learning styles is always the way to go. Right now, when I design learning interactivities I try to provide both the flash (accessible version with audio) and printable docs.

I am on the Jones end of the Boomers. Thanks for publishing your blog...what a nice discovery for me. You have some fantastic resources and posts. I am sure to become a faithful reader.
