DURATION: (0.5 to 1 day)
Welcome to the age of iEverything – where everything has a digital form: books, music, games, news, communication, movies, photos – you name it, we’ve digitized it. Consequently, the people that consume most of the digital media are those that were born with it, the Generation Z.
Generation Z are the young people born between 1994 and 2010. This generation grew up with touchscreens and social media, and they have never experienced what it’s like to be (and will panic if) offline. Children of this generation live and breathe technology, partly because the older generation has literally pacified them with it (“Stop crying, play with my iPad.”).
The big question is, how does the Generation Z best absorbs, processes and applies information?

Today’s teachers are faced with the challenge of being the last low-tech generation to teach the first high-tech generation. In this workshop, the teachers will be on a journey into the minds of the youth. They will learn the how’s and why’s of dealing with these young people, as their students and perhaps as their children.
