How do we teach Generation Z?

This is quite and interesting question? I`m talking about generation z/millenials, but also referring to other generations such as x and y! The majority is more into Ed Tech than the old school material and traditional teaching, even with their valuable contribution and we all use them up to today as well.

The video raises an important question to be reflected upon after a series of important info. I`d like to hear what you think!

Learning process on the 21st century

  Learning is much more interactive nowadays. And it has to be. Actually, it has always been one of the most effective learning process that's ever existed. Studies and students have raised awareness upon technology as one of the most effective tools to learn in today's world. When they feel like they’ve produced something out of the content shared and learned, every now and then, it’s as if they have something extra to add up to the discussion and indeed they have. Learning goes on during the process (either much or little) but still, it is more felt than it ever was. I have a feeling and I'm sure many might agree with me, that being able to attend class in person, will never get fully old. Even though there is also interaction on the online world, face-to-face has its value, as well. Considering facial expression, voice intonation, body language and so on we can all agree that technology only enhances this already live interaction/communication and it should be taken into account with its benefits.

  It's interesting to consider that "student centered learning" has been brought up to people's attention and it's in fact being discussed among teachers and society for long now, and yet not that long if we consider the chronological aspect and time in world history. In other times, teachers weren't likely to adjust to the students pace. But the other way around. That's crucial to the updates and improvement continuum of educational system and education itself.

  New Apps, tablets, cellphones and continuous computer technology improvement are being used more and more, as well as shared by teachers and students, to help one another. And we should keep doing that! The thought that you should never share something you know is not so common anymore. The mentality has changed and therefore people are closer than ever. Sharing and growing together!
