Meet the Modern Student LIMITED

Wednesday July 16, 2025 10:00am - 10:45am MDT

Students are drastically different than they were 5, 10, or 20 years ago, let alone when many of us were their age. Technology is a larger part of their lives than we tend to realize and it shapes them in ways we don't always understand. In this session we will look at questions adults have about the younger generations and see real student answers to these questions in an attempt to better know our students and thus, make us that much better at teaching them.
