As teachers enter classrooms, many of their neomillennial students consider electronic communication and search tools a natural extension of their appendages. Brain research states that the neural development of youth today is observably different from earlier generations. Neomillenials live media-based life styles. Research on Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVE) and augmented reality learning experiences such as second life simulations supports neomillineal learning styles (NLS) i.e.
1. Fluency in multiple media for communication and personal expression
2. Learning based on collective seeking sieving and synthesizing experiences rather than individually locating and absorbing information from a single best source
3. Active learning based on both real and simulated experiences that include frequent opportunities for reflection
