It can be intimidating teaching Gen Z because they are so tech savvy.  We have no choice but to continue learning about the newest technological advances.  I worry at times that they are missing skills needed to be effective communicators.
It's comforting to see that they are loyal employees and care about what their companies represent.

# data[].attributes.body
As much as we talk about gen Z learning styles being more collaboative and social I actually see much of the opposite. Just as has always been, there are ultiple types of learning and working methods regardless of which generation you are from.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a big challenge

# data[].attributes.body
With so much access to technology, we need to provide ways for students to use it appropriately and educationally.

The video stated that Gen Z students want to solve "real world problems", that already has my brain spinning on how many different way I can incorporate that into my math instruction.

It's wild to me how many students have a traceable digital footprint. As educators we need to be aware of their online presence, and make sure that we are teaching them online safety. Additionally, the fact that students are accustomed to being so digitally savvy, it's ever increasingly more important that we incorporate as many digital tools as possible into our instruction.

I Love this kind of environments for teaching. They alow the students to tap into technology which they love and be creative and hads on which is not traditional teaching .

# data[].attributes.body
We need to show them the things they are capable of doing with tech. It's great that they are willing to dive in, but that doesn't mean they know how to swim.

Using flipped learning in the classroom and from home will help many students succeed that need to see the examples worked again. It is so exciting to contemplate what other jobs might be available to them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
interesting to think about what jobs will look like in the future.

The stereotypes of both millennials and Gen Z are wrong.  They're not lazy or selfish.  They're just different from us old folks.  We need to stop judging them and trying to make them into us.  Meet them where they are.

I think it will be difficult to keep things new and engaging because of their ability to access new information almost constantly, and how quick they move on to the next new thing.  Fortnight to Apex Legends

We need to customize our lessons to the learning style of the current students and not necessary the way we would learn!

Gen Z super careful tech using......extremely dramatic when unpluggedand  together....diversity is celebrated

A 30% pay cut to work for a company they believe in is huge

we need a big challenge in front us! We need to prepare pretty well to embrace Generation Z.

# data[].attributes.body
Gen Z is used to engaging online so it makes sense to use flipped learning to reach students.

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
How can we create environments for students to multitask and also STAY on task? How can we prepare the "low-focus" generation for standardized testing?

# data[].attributes.body
Really eye opening that we are suppose to prepare students for jobs that do no exist yet....

# data[].attributes.body
I think that if we are truly going to change education to match Gen Z's learning characteristics, we have to change HOW we teach

I think what struck me the most was the quote that "they want to solve real problems." This is so true... I see this in my students all the time. They constantly ask the question "why does this matter" because they want it to be relevant.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely need small group communication skills with these students. Must be able to persevere in a group setting.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is my responsibility to help prepare my students to take their place in the Generation Z world. This video has provided me with the platform from which I need to start reflecting- What is my role in facilitating my students as Generation Z learners.

# data[].attributes.body
I used the quote last week with my students that a job they could have in their future probably has not been created yet.

Skills over content are important. We need to develop the critical thinking skills and focus on problem solving over rote recitation of content

Why are we still assessing in old school multiple choice (EOG) tests? And using that data to make decisions?

# data[].attributes.body
The students are driven by passion and technology.

The fact that 65% of our students will have jobs that don't even exist yet reminds me that we need to teach kids SKILLS, not memorize content.

# data[].attributes.body
Sounds ambitious and exhausting. Crazy that most elementary students will work in jobs that don't even exist yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Many parents want to stick to what they know. This will NOT help Gen Xers to succeed. As educators we have to prepare these kids for unknowns.

I agree that this generations goals and aspirations are so different from people of my generation, so as a teacher librarian I feel understanding blended and flipped learning is essential to help students to progress to the goals they have for themselves later in life, and the successes they want to experience.

Students thrive in a setting where technology is used to enhance instruction. Collaboration with effective technology use is key.

It said that they are my likely to choose jobs based on interests which means we may need to allow more exploration of those interests. It gave more insight about this generation other than technology.

Most of their jobs haven't been created yet.

These students will push the boundaries of technology, social media and interpersonal interactions.  They view the world in a different way then the older generations.

I will say that sometimes the challenge is Gen X kids sometimes feel they can get all their learning from technology and don’t need a live teacher.

The statistics in the video are so interesting and So True. I see it in my 17 year old son. We are preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet and we have to find innovative ways to meet their needs and engage them.

Even more important to teach GOOD CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

As a high school teacher, I can see this coming into fruition. Students are having a harder time focusing on classroom assignments the way I was used to. I graduated from high school in 2008. Technology has come a long way since then. As a math teacher, it is extremely difficult to find ways to incorporate technology. However, I am open to learning more ways I can blend technology to prepare my students for what they may need in the future.

Gen Z students are definitely more technologically advanced than most of us as educators are prepared for. However they lack many of the skills necessary to be successful in today's world albeit ever changing. They lack the communication skills and empathy  that are necessary to become productive members of society whether it be technology driven or not. I think integration of technology is extremely important but, how can we teach other necessary skills through the use of technology?

# data[].attributes.body
Assignments should allow for multi-tasking and collaboration in flexible spaces.

My students are obsessed with snapchat and the statistic about their social communication primarily being through snapchat is true for my students!

As a parent of a Gen Z, it was interesting to see what Gen Z thinks of themselves. Trying to learn how to mix their world into education while fighting the beliefs and concerns of previous generations and preparing this generation for jobs not yet created is a challenge!

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of judging we need to spend more time trying to understand and reaching the needs of other generations.

# data[].attributes.body
We are responsible for educating children that will hold jobs that possibly do not currently exist.

# data[].attributes.body
The comment that the jobs that we are training these students for do not even exist today.  That is both really exciting and a challenge.  This is why we need to be letting them collaborate and attempt to solve problems with technology.  In many cases they already know the basics and want to try and learn how to use tools in different way.  I also like the idea that there needs to be an emphasis on solving real world problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Students that we are teaching today more than likely will work in jobs that have yet to be created. Most will want to have their own business and work in a relaxed environment.

Not only is Generation Z different than Millenials and Generations before, they are ahead of the world. The educational system must shift to capture the greatness of these students. The video makes a lot of educational battles clearer to understand.

# data[].attributes.body
As the world is ever changing, we must ensure that our practices for teaching, engaging and reaching each and every child is evolving and changing as well. That may mean that we can't do what we dis last year, last month or even last year. We must be open to change DAILY!

# data[].attributes.body
With this changing generation, we must provide them with open-minds and the ability to use their resources, collaborate and solve problems. This will prepare them for a variety of jobs we have yet to discover.

# data[].attributes.body
What stuck with me is that they don’t know the world without the internet.

As a mother of a kindergarten it is hard to imagine that 65% of his class will have a job one day that currently does not exist.  Watching this video is a reminder to always be a life long learner as an educator.  Which can be a challenge for those that like to do the same mundane lessons. We need to watch for trends, look for innovative ways to make connections with our content through the use of technology. Having an environment that is blended or flipped will help Gen Z students be more engaged and  make the learning relevant for their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
We dont know what kind of jobs they will have but can prepare them to work with others, problem solve and we can integrate technology to do this to better prepare them

# data[].attributes.body
I can absolutely see how their future jobs will look like something that we are completely unfamiliar with. I see the qualities listed in the video in my personal children. They must be passionate about the work they do or they are totally uninterested and unproductive.

As a millenial, I'm so used to my peers wanting to connect via text, twitter, etc. and I'm tied to my phone... I find it interesting that my students would prefer face to face communication but are at the same time more attached to their technology. As digital natives, they are more likely to see technology as integrated and essential in their lives vs. how I see technology as something new most of the time, things that I want to "try," new  ways to connect, etc... whereas they see it as having always been there. My students always find it interesting when I talk about old technologies and when there were no cellphones!
I think challenges are there with keeping attention, and with ensuring they are engaged with the classroom! From the description in this video, our students are more likely to connect with project based learning focused on real world problems..so how do we move away from the "old way" of teaching and innovate in ways that will connect with our students? We have to remember that they are not the same learners that we were, so the same old things may not/won't work!
I think a flipped classroom would work well with gen z students, because they could connect with the information in a way that is comfortable for them and not "boring." Finally, I think then having them respond face to face or with something like flipgrid to connect with each other and respond to the content is beneficial.
