We often assume that these digital natives are similar to Millennials in terms of their behavior and learning styles, but nothing could be farther from reality. If you are teaching with the same methods you used to reach Millennials, you are missing a gigantic potential. This generation of digital natives is an entirely different type of student—one that you need a new strategy to reach. How confident are you that you can connect and engage in a way that will resonate? This keynote session by internationally-acclaimed researcher and speaker and #1 bestselling author Sarah Weise will teach you the new rules for engaging Generation Z in meaningful ways.

• Where they go for different types of content
• What draws them in
• When they are able to hyper-focus, for hours on end
• What keeps them coming back for more You’ll walk away with a new set of questions to ask yourself when evaluating your teaching strategy, to tailor your approach for this new generation.
