Description
The social network captures elements of giftedness in today’s media and quickly-developing world. The latest culture wars involve the generational divides between Boomers, X-ers, and Millennials; however, there is a new generation in the elementary schools- children born since 2001. This generation is just beginning to form shape, and in a prescient foreshadowing, Strauss and Howe hypothesized that they would be shaped by crisis, forming an adaptive mentality. This presentation develops an understanding of the differences between generations, implications for parenting and teaching, and an understanding of how their generational context shapes the development of giftedness.
