Students are so technology savvy these days.  Yet they are not unlike students from the pre-Web 2.0 World.  Today I lectured in an introduction level course in hospitality and travel.  Just like the students back in Utah, the students straggled in one or two at a time. They greeted Liping casually as they took their seats in the back row. It took several attempts before getting the students to respond to questions that I poised as I started my lecture on an introduction to the Food & Beverage Management.  They are so young, they seem to lack any field experience.  After I even suggested that if they ate out here then they were knowledgeable regarding the industry.  It took a while but I think they reacted to my passion for the lesson and responded.  At least no one fell to sleep during my lecture.  Either the lecture was interesting or I was too loud to allow them to fall asleep.  The second class was in the computer lab so I felt right at home at the computer.  I talked to several students before and after class.  It would be fun to work with these students . . . they are so young and impressionable.   I love this age group.
