Characteristics of 21st Century Learners
Millennials, the current generation of students, were born between 1980 and 2000. Although some Millennials have dropped out of or graduated from academia and entered the workforce, most are still in our school systems.
On average, Millennials spend 6.5 hours each day saturated in print, electronic, digital, broadcast and news media. They listen to and record music; view, create and publish Internet content; play video games; watch television; talk on mobile phones and instant message every day.
