Bridging the Generation Gap

•Generation Gap- A difference in values and attitudes between one generation and another, especially between young people and their parents.

 • What events and trends both reflect and shape each generation? In this lesson, students compare their generation with one or more older generations and the reasons for differences between them. They generate defining events they have experienced and consider how those events have shaped who they are — and will become.

•The older generation often feels there is generation gap between them and the younger generation.

• In a field where revolutions in media technology change what we teach and what we study continually. Also, tech-suffused undergraduates.

•Still, some old things are difficult to overcome, like marriage, religion-rule and etc.

•Even in education, traditional schooling has hardly changed even with the clear evidence of a digital world. Reflect on how some teachers confine their teaching to the board talk-test method.

• In the field of education, a huge generation gap also exists and it will continue to widen unless some changes are adopted at the proper time.

•Given the speed and power of ICT for change, growth, innovation, it becomes critical that teachers understand the gap that may be perceived between them and the new generation of learners.

•Since the new generation are expected to face a future professional challenge of a digital ahead of them, technology-supported skills need to be taught in schools today, or else schools will become a white elephant.
