Just getting started on iGen. Gets mixed reviews and I hear it has lots of stats... But it should be an interesting topic.

How best to help them? Encourage face to face time, get them out of the house, prepare them for debate and new ideas, make them get a drivers license build their residency skills!
Fascinatiing. She includes a lot of statistics in the book; I like that she is able to compare the generations, but when all the generations were teens and young adults, due to surveys that have been done since the 1970s. there are a lot of graphs, which are hard to read on my small Kobo screen. The author did a lot of interviews, so she can take some of the stories from the interviews to highlight some of the findings. Very interesting book.
I grabbed this book on the strength of a recommendation and the whim of my local library displaying it. It was a fascinating drive into the statistics (oxymoron, I know!) of what makes the latest generation to reach adulthood unique. The things that drive them, their tendencies, and their outlooks, all generated by 11 million surveys of the members of iGen. As a teacher, I found it fascinating and enlightening.
Living AND working with this generation, I can‘t say I learned a ton, but I did learn some. These kids have some pros and some cons to their “lifestyle” but overall I think they will be a great generation as they grow into adults. I am curious what they will officially be called.
When one book leads to another book AND TED talk. This is why my TBR list is so damn long! 😊
Finally making some time to read! My puppers is away for a 3 week doggie boot camp to get some socialization and manners. I miss him so much! Left: Angus on his way to boot camp. Right: First day at boot camp 🐶🐾🐾🐾 #dogsoflitsy
On my new, 5 min. work commute (😃) I caught a bit of an interview on this book. I‘m about 5 pages in and hooked! This is my kids generation and I work with a lot of teens and tweens. I‘m super curious about what this generation will be like as they enter the workforce!
A detail of my wallet purse themed bookstore of course.
And a ted talk about being bored.

That's all folks! Keep moving along...
2nd book of the #24in48 #readathon is done! I found this to be an informative listen and the tips at the end will be useful in the classroom too.
The chapter in politics was kind of scary though.
With so little time left un the book I think I'm going to continue my #24in48 #readathon by going "off stack" and listen to an audiobook.

1. Yes
2. I'm usually driving.
3. Almost anything 😑
4. I can't highlight/quoting for Litsy is near impossible. (that might just be my lazy showing.) BAD ACCENTS (I wish narrators wouldn't do accents.)
5. In English up to 2x faster. In Spanish no more than 1.5x (depends on narrator.)
Started this yesterday. Maybe not the best choice for audiobook...lots of explanation about data collecting and research. Stuff I would probably skip in a book when reading. Still, I'm enjoying some of the less number-y explain-y bits. Except for the the part where they talk about iGen kids not reading. 😱
I have seen my kids stare zombified at their screens to which I reply, daydreaming is the balm to what ails you my dear...
Is this author seriously suggesting that kids being less rebellious and more tolerant is a bad thing? The less happy and not prepared thing can be worked on, but is she honestly suggesting that in the process we should aim to make children more rebellious and less tolerant? Her three kids must be really interesting people.
Side Note: I‘m a GenY and I was never prepared for adulthood either. That‘s not new. My phone has actually helped with that.
I'm reading this now. As a Generation X'er, it's interesting to learn about this newest generation. Times have sure changed!
Baby Boomers, Gen-Xers, and Millennials. Now we have I-Geners, a generation of kids born during the age of the internet and technology. With the convenience of electronics, this new future is growing up with the obsession for social media, cyberbullying and a more disconnective society. SDSU professor examines this group who have a pragmatic view of social and political issues, dating, and economics. Deeply fascinating.
#TBRtemptation post 8! Just released. This book looks at the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s. Technology, the first ones to grow up with smartphones for example, is not the only differential with this group: how they allot their time; views on religion, sex, politics; how they socialize; etc., are looked at. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
