The document discusses different generations including Generation X, Millennials (Generation Y), and Digital Natives. Generation X experienced major world events in the late 20th century that shaped their views. They are generally self-sufficient and value work-life balance. Millennials are tech-savvy, family-oriented, and achievement-driven. They seek feedback and guidance. While those born in the digital age are often called "Digital Natives," not all youth are equally comfortable with technology due to environmental factors. Teachers must engage Digital Native students through innovative technology use.
Generation: Generation (from the Latin generāre , meaning "to beget"), [1] also known as procreation in biological sciences, is the act of producing offspring . In a more general sense, it can also refer to the act of creating something inanimate such as ideas , sound , electrical generation using technology or cryptographic code generation . Generation Gap: The generational gap is and was a term popularized in Western countries during the 1960s referring to differences between people of a younger generation and their elders, especially between a child and their parent's generation. Although some generational differences have existed throughout history, because of more rapid cultural change during the modern era differences between the two generations increased in comparison to previous times, particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, culture and politics. This may have been magnified by the unprecedented size of the young generation during the 1960s, which gave it unprecedented power and willingness to rebel against societal norms.
