Educating Screenagers: Pedagogical Implications for Today’s Learners

Abstract

The rapid acceleration of technological advancements and the increased integration of digital devices into our lives has demanded that pedagogical approaches adapt and change to facilitate most effective learning for Gen Z, the Screenagers. Educators are at the forefront of needing to respond to the changes as the emerging generations redefine working, learning and community. From sensory engagers to digital linguists and social networkers, this session will deliver insights from the latest research on characteristics defining Gen Z. Claire’s session will also unpack implications for the education sector, from flipped learning to virtual libraries and connected classrooms.
