The Gen Z kids can’t survive without constantly checking their phones in class. I found it counterproductive to ban phones so allow them to have phones provided they aren’t actively using them or causing a disruption in the classroom, and that they are on silent. I wish they didn’t have phones in the classroom but that’s part of being a Gen Z.
This give a real insight into how the Gen Z kids have a completely different skill set to previous generations
I look forward to interacting with the Gen Z people now that I have a better understanding of how they think. I have a new appreciation for them
I saw a wonderful video the other day of a teacher taking his class outside in the sunshine and teaching them how to breakdance. Apparently they now love it so much and can’t wait for each outdoor activity session.
