Have you noticed how fast technology changed the way we relate to each other and communicate, in only a few short years? People talk without meeting in person, yet they can see each other over big (or small) screens, and distance is no longer an issue. The wild imagination of the 90’s has come to be the reality of today. Ok, we don’t have flying cars yet and teleportation is still unavailable, but communication will never be what it used to. Due to limited resources of time, writing things down in pen-and-paper fashion is a thing of the past.

Of course, teenagers, of all people, are mostly affected by the rise of technology. They grow up with it and are shaped by it. So if you’re teaching teenagers, you have to speak their language to be relevant to them. No, you don’t have to wear tight jeans and crazy haircuts, but you do need to communicate through their preferred channels.

The only resources you need are a few minutes a day and an Internet connection.
