Overview

Hyper-connected. Hyper-distracted. Outsmarted.Today's iGen students have grown up in a world where social media, constant connection, and information overload are the norm. It seems that everyone has a smartphone in hand all the time. In this high-tech world, face-to-face or even voice-to-voice communication have largely been replaced by emojis and textisms (IYKYK). Smartphones are ever present sources of news, (mis)information, entertainment-and distraction. The unintended but very real impact of our dependence on technology coupled with the rise of AI can be seen in the way today's youth socialize, think, and learn. In Outsmarted, educator Lisa Green considers the impact of today's rapidly advancing technology on children's and teens' mental and emotional development. Green navigates the complex journey of preparing learners to succeed in a high-tech world. She offers practical approaches to smartphone management, skill-building, and assessment in today's classroom.
