As part of a three-year study into teacher use of 1-2-1 technology, this presentation shares initial findings of the link between generational characteristics and ICT use. Offered as a fun way to begin to understand how teachers’ use of ICT varies, the use of traits by generations is explored. For example, do Gen Y teachers adopt ICT differently from Boomers? Participant feedback is encouraged!
