Teaching Generation Z
Humans Use Technology
Has had access to the Internet from birth
Has had access to email since elementary school
Has been using social networking programs since high school
Generation Z
May think they can multitask, but can’t
Has access to information overload like no other generation
May not know how to access legitimate information (science vs opinion)
May never have been exposed to educational technology.
Generation Z Realities
Growing exponentially, too rapidly to keep up
Start with your objectives and choose technology to help achieve that objective
