Hi Dr. Mitzi,
How the video was made was also very apt to the topic you presented.
Apart from the learning insights gain, as part of the millenial generation, and having much of my schooling years within the Gen Z, the concepts were also something that led me to reflect on how educational strategies need to be flexible and adaptive to the uniqueness of learners especially nowadays.
Teaching in a non-academic platform which has exposed me to both the old and the youth, there is indeed distinct differences in the way the current generation receives and acts on their learning experiences. They can be curious about so many things and easily find answers on their own because of the many resources available, and while a classroom setting usually connotes prim and proper behavior, its quite observable how vocal the recent generations have been in learning sessions, often times volunteering knowledge to share rather than just absorbing teacher-led lectures.
Its a dynamic learning environment nowadays, and I very agree with the takeaway that our teaching strategies can so much change not only after every after each year but even when class is ongoing to be able to thrive with the uniques personalities of learners we encounter nowadays.
This is very helpful material in understanding the learners we have today. Thank you!
