Generation Z – The Digital Learner

Thank you to the Streamxy.com blog for pointing us to this very insightful video on how teachers can engage Generation Z. This video is filled with useful statistics and other reminders on the importance of using technology to engage this Digital Generation.

While there is no doubt that educational institutions need to rethink how the reach and engage this Generation – we were struck by the fact that Companies are NOT ready for this Generation. This Generation seeks a “richness” of experience. They want to create, consume, remix and share material. They don’t want to “power-down” when they go to school or when they take their first job. Companies need to develop strategies NOW about how they are going to engage this Generation.

What are you doing to prepare for the next Generation?
