Generation Alpha: Keeping Gen Alpha Engaged - Motivation, Attention & Real-World Learning


Listen Later

In the final episode of our Generation Alpha series, we explore the heart of modern classroom challenges: how to engage students with shorter attention spans and tech-shaped expectations.
 
Our expert guests unpack the neuroscience of motivation, the power of chunking and multimodality, and the role of gamification—both its benefits and its pitfalls. Discover practical strategies for boosting attention, fostering intrinsic motivation, and co-creating learning experiences that resonate with Gen Alpha.
 
Plus, we dive into the importance of growth mindset, real-world relevance, and how to involve parents in meaningful ways. A must-watch for educators navigating the evolving landscape of 21st-century learning.
