Great sites about Gen Y

I had the good fortune to teach Gen Y to 4th and 5th graders last year. It may not provide an instant revolution in technology use in your school, but what a powerful model for meaningful organizational change: empowering students to partner with teachers. As expert learners with technology, students (even elementary-age students) help teachers acquire technology skills and assist in the development of a technology-infused lesson. Teachers (expert learners with pedagogy) help students develop their leadership skills.
