Tech in the classroom[/caption] Technology in the classroom seems like a natural progression from pen and paper, much as whiteboards replaced chalkboards. Few educators or students would disagree, though how they feel about tech might actually surprise you. In surveying over 20,000 students and teachers across a wide age spectrum, Quizlet uncovered some interesting data. Perhaps most startling is that, as they age, both teachers and students take a slightly dimmer view of technology. We’ll first note the survey spans several age groups. Here’s how Quizlet defines them:

- Baby Boomers: 1946-1964
- Gen X: 1965-1982
- Millennials:1983-2000
- Gen Z: 2001-present
- 28 percent of Generation Z students are more likely to say tech in class helps them learn faster than traditional worksheets, books and lectures.
- 24 percent are more likely to say that tech in the classroom makes learning more fun.
- 12 percent are more likely to say learning apps in general help them learn more quickly than traditional worksheets, books and lectures.
