The document discusses how today's students are different from the past. While students appear smarter due to technology use, they have shorter attention spans and can't read as well as previous generations. Traditional teaching methods no longer engage students as well. However, using videos, group activities, and computers in lessons can better capture students' attention. The document also notes that while technology overuse may have negative impacts, it also strengthens the brain when used in moderation. It argues educators must adapt their teaching styles to the digital age in order to effectively educate modern students.
