Abstract two
This article looks at how teenagers today have grown up in a completely different culture in comparison to previous generations. This is said to be mainly as a result of the development and rise of the internet. Hansford and Adlington say how many teenagers are avid online users, on social networking sites, like Facebook, and video share, shop and so on online. The negative result, it is said, is that in school, these teenagers are reluctant to learn through older methods of learning, like reading and so on. The problem is that teenagers want to learn and are more comfortable with new media, and want to ‘teach’ teachers to use these, whereas teachers want to encourage teenagers and young people to use traditional methods.
