Plenty of learning going on at "Teaching Generation Z: Active and Digital Learning" in Cullowhee with tools like GooseChase (https://www.goosechase.com) being shared. Follow along at #nccatgenz on Twitter.
Generation Z has never known a world without cell phones, texting, and the Internet. Our students are more comfortable with the use of technology than former generations. However, this technology-driven style of learning seems to have resulted in a generation of learners who seek immediate gratification—are prone to boredom and ready to jump to the end of the book. How do we teach the Zs? In a mash-up of professional education—a blend of an EdCamp, an interdisciplinary conference on active learning and assessment, and a gamification boot camp—educators will answer that question.
Thanks to this great group of teachers for being with us!
