My husband and I, however, are not millennial parents as he was born in 1967, and I was born in 1975. Therefore, we go against the norm. What challenges my thinking regarding Generation Alpha is its members (my sons included) are described and projected to be so technologically focused and dependent that they will basically eliminate human-to-human interaction and will be referred to as names such as "screenagers." ]]> 2020-08-28 21:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/d68uxawlyqfvzp5/wish/706180586 https://padlet.com/learning23/d68uxawlyqfvzp5/wish/706191426 I hope the prediction that Generation Alpha will so heavily depend upon and utilize technology to eventually become independent, successful, and make a positive impact within society rather than use it more for entertainment and other nonproductive measures.]]> 2020-08-28 21:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/d68uxawlyqfvzp5/wish/706191426 https://padlet.com/learning23/d68uxawlyqfvzp5/wish/706195129 That Generation Alpha will be so consumed with and infatuated with technology. ]]> 2020-08-28 21:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/d68uxawlyqfvzp5/wish/706195129 https://padlet.com/learning23/d68uxawlyqfvzp5/wish/706310443 The frequency that gen alpha interacts with glass made me think about the loss of personal interactions.  I see this as a challenge in the classroom.
