Educating The Net Generation

Examining the unique characteristics of the Net Generation, Pletka addresses the national problem of escalating school dropout rates and student disengagement - and offers solutions as to how to best involve students of the millennial generation. Chapters feature student interviews and photographs, synthesising the perspectives of current schoolchildren as to their experiences, beliefs and thoughts on learning, while a parallel set of parent interviews, surveys and photographs reveal what factors parents feel are important in their child's education.
