Rhetoric about young people's "ownership" of future socio-technical change is a familiar part of much educational and political discourse. This does not, however, translate in practice into a meaningful dialogue with young people about the sorts of futures they might wish to see emerge. This paper argues that a number of social and…

Bowring, Bill – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2012
This article attempts a contrast to the contribution by Hugh Starkey.

van den Beemt, A.; Akkerman, S.; Simons, P. R. J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
The intensive use of interactive media has led to assertions about the effect of these media on youth.

DiLullo, Camille; McGee, Patricia; Kriebel, Richard M. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2011
The characteristic profile of Millennial Generation students, driving many educational reforms, can be challenged by research in a number of fields including cognition, learning style, neurology, and psychology. This evidence suggests that the current aggregate view of the Millennial student may be less than accurate. Statistics show that…

It is also clear that today's Millennials are…

Newstead, Barry; Wright, Caitrin Moran; Colby, Susan – Bridgespan Group, 2010
Everyone knows that every single child should receive a high-quality education. Not only is it the ticket to opportunity in America and around the world, but also research has shown clearly that there are life-limiting implications for children who are not adequately educated. Where to start? As the authors reflect on their work and research in…

Kelly, Patrick; Strawn, Julie – National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NJ1), 2011
