Modern schoolchildren are said to have been born "with a mouse in their hand." They are the children of gadgets. Therefore, they write on paper only in lessons, the rest of the notes - in smartphones and tablets. Almost no paper books are read, although letters are learned from diapers to find cartoons on YouTube.
Children born in the XXI century are surrounded by IT technologies from an early age. And if twenty years ago children spent an average of three hours a day in front of device screens, today - about eight. Previously, teenage idols could be seen in magazines and on TV, and the heroes of modern youth are YouTube stars. And, of course, they can no longer imagine life without the Internet.
We need to give them more opportunities to try and prove themselves, more space for action, they will not teach theory, but they are ready to do, experiment, create.
