The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools | Will Richardson | TEDxWestVancouverED

Beliefs about how we can help students develop into powerful learners versus how schools work 

We know how to help kids develop into powerful learners. Now, we just need to make that happen in schools. "A parent of two teen-agers, Will Richardson has spent the last dozen years developing an international reputation as a leading thinker and writer about the intersection of social online learning networks and education. Will has authored four books (with two more on the way), including ""Why School? How Education Must Change When Learning and Information are Everywhere"" (September, 2012) published by TED books and based on his 2013 TEDx talk in Melbourne, Australia. ""Why School?"" is now the #1 best-selling TED book ever. A former public school educator of 22 years, Will is also co-founder of Modern Learner Media and co-publisher of ModernLearners.com which is a site dedicated to helping educational leaders and policy makers develop new contexts for new conversations around education.

Gen Z

 I've started seeing a lot of buzz about Gen Z... 

​

That's quite a lot of hype!!  Here are the links to the other info on Gen Z that I've come across:

Millennials Are Old News — Here’s Everything You Should Know About Generation Z

Gen Z wants to change the world. 60% of them want to have an impact on the world, compared to 39% of millennials, according to a study by Sparks & Honey, a New York-based marketing agency. Roughly one in four Generation Z-ers are involved in volunteering. Advanced college degrees are less important to them. 64% of Gen Z-ers are considering an advanced college degree, compared to 71% of millennials. 

    Generations Z

Born: 1995-2012 Coming of Age: 2013-2020 Age in 2004: 0-9 Current Population: 23 million and growing rapidly ** college age 2013-2030** **Have always known the internet**

Meet Generation Z  the first 10 slides are mostly for marketers, you'll find the rest of the slidedeck to be of interest (**p52)...  this was prepared by Sparks & Honey (the ones that did that study I linked to above)
