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!
Here`s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LrlGnP8QhI
My name is Mariana S. Nardelli, I'm 32 years old, I'm a Psychologist and an English teacher. This blog is based on an experiment from a course I'm taking part in and it is mainly about my thoughts on the 21st century learning process and its impacts on students and teachers' lives.

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!
