Understanding the Digital Generation: Teaching and Learning in the New Digital Landscape

Today's world is different for our children. The technologies we take for granted or simply don't understand have become a part of our children's identities. This digital bombardment is shaping who they are and who they will become. We must realise they live in a different world, and speak a different language. This resource examines how the digital landscape is transforming teaching and learning, why informed leadership is so critical, and how instruction can support traditional literacy skills alongside 21st-century fluencies.

This book also explores the characteristics of the new digital generation, and how education can be modified to enhance their learning experiences while supporting both traditional literacy and essential new 21st Century Fluencies. You'll see how the digital generation thinks, learns, views the world and interacts as we follow them through this vast digital landscape. If we want to take part in nurturing those who will be the architects of our future it's up to us to learn their language and step into their world, so that we may truly understand the digital generation.
