If you want a sign that this generation is Generation Tech, here's one:
I often compose emails with my students, projecting the email itself on the screen and getting their input for content. This is writing, grammar, 21st century soft skills, and whatever content area we're learning all woven into the same lesson.
There are times when I have them draft emails on a template that I xerox, which I found online.
We've emailed entomologists and authors.
Today, as we were concluding the email, I asked, "So how should be end our email?"
The kid I called on, "hit send" lol
(Not sincerely or thank you or yours truly, but "hit send")
Some call me "Flem"
