How Generation ‘C’ will change Education…forever - onlinelearninginsights

“In the course of the next 10 years, a new generation—Generation C—will emerge…As they grow up, this highly connected generation will live “online” most of their waking hours…” (Friedrich et al., 2012). Move over generation X, Y and Z. The new group in town is Generation ‘C’, dubbed so in February 2012 by Nielsen Wire – yet generation ‘C’ is universal (in developed nations) according to Booz & Company Global management company. I predict we’re going to hear much more about this expanding, connected and media savvy group of 18 – 34 year olds, and we educators need to sit up and pay attention. I’ll share with you what I’ve learned about this group, and more importantly what this means for teaching and learning sooner rather than later.
