Are We Connecting? Teens Talk Edtech
Date Thursday, Dec 3 Time – RoomPotsdam III
We talk about the needs of the ‘millennials’, how to best engage them in the classroom and prepare them for the future of work. But, most of the time, this generation is further ahead of the technology curve than we think and their use of certain technology, apps and social media is changing month to month. So, how can educators keep up?
