A better way to put it will be Millennials were tech-savvy whereas, Gen Z are tech natives.

Millennials picked up educational information from books and by visiting a library, here Gen Z learns quickly visually and by experience. This is done through various media learning available like videos, audio clips, Augmented reality and Artificial intelligence. Generation Z learning thrives for autonomy in education. They are not only self-paced, self-directed, and independent but also require freedom of what/how they learn. Face to Face learning has also diminished post covid times giving a new boost to the online and internet world.

Increased Participation In Students:
We at Harshad Valia International School(https://shcvaliaintschool.in/) aim to facilitate digital engagement alongside student experience on the go. Through various live interactive tools like PowerPoint slide shows, Educational Video clips and many more are utilized to keep the students involved in the learning process.

Incorporates different learning styles(https://shcvaliaintschool.in/learning-styles/):
It is critically important ...
... to understand that each student in your classroom is different, and it can be challenging to adjust your learning plan to fit every student’s desire. Here comes technology at the rescue helping you to alter your lesson plans seamlessly. You can chalk down a plan where you include a perfect blend of all learning styles so that all children have some learning to take back home.

Prepares Students For The Future:
Living in a world that is crossing technologies leaps and bounds, the future seems to be more techno-driven. For this massively ever-growing future, the youth not only needs to be technology friendly but also should be adaptive to upcoming newer technologies. If you don’t adapt to newer technology you will be as outdated as a Nokia phone. Introducing instructional technology in the classroom at a young age can help prepare students for future digital demands.

Improves Collaboration:
It is observed that children help each other in the classroom often, be it for assignments for projects or even minutes before an examination. Through a robust technology system in place, not only students but also teachers can collaborate to achieve certain tasks. Additionally, technology systems give students a platform to interact, seek help and hence collaborate in school.

To conclude, it is vital to be conscious of the new generation and to ensure we deliver the best possible learning for each student. Technology not only supports shaping students into the people they are but also continues to grow. As an international school, we utilize technology in the best way possible to nourish these Gen Z characteristics by building a learning environment that is progressive enhanced by technology.
