Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn

"This book offers insight and help to motivate and maximize learning for the Internet Generation"—from the coauthor of The Distracted Mind (Eric Milou, Professor of Mathematics, Rowan University). Look around at today's youth and you can see how technology has changed their lives. They lie on their beds and study while texting and chatting online with friends and scrolling through TikTok. How does the new, charged-up, multitasking generation respond to traditional textbooks and lectures? Are we effectively reaching today's technologically advanced youth? Rewired is the first book to help educators and parents teach to this new generation's radically different learning styles and needs. This book will also help parents learn what to expect from their "techie" children concerning school, homework, and even socialization. In short, it is a book that exposes the impact of generational differences on learning while providing strategies for engaging students at school and at home. "Larry's research-based, positive, proactive messages are a welcome relief from the unsupported fear-based messages that are unfortunately also present. Rewired should be considered a 'must-read' by all professionals who work with youth, especially those in leadership positions." ―Nancy Willard Director of Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use
