Characteristics of Gen Z1. Speed Demons- a generation that has grown up on instant gratification with instantaneous Google answers- Age of AADD-Acquired Attention Deficit Disorder- On Demand is the New Normal

2. Community Organizers and Curators- Born social through social nets befriending and interacting Key Behaviours: Share, Express and Consume

3. Open Books-Personal information is shared with little thought to privacy

4. Micro Miners-Information broken down and condensed- think tumblr and twitter

5. Self-publishing

For Businesses: Gen Z is6. Not Brand Loyal - Instead, the product itself is what’s important, regardless of marketing campaigns.

7. Age of the Curator - Generation Z is doing the same with every other purchasing decision. The result — what you see them wearing, watching, and reading — is their own curated version of the world. There is no hiding from Generation Z. They are extreme curators, sharing and panning everything from movies to books to clothes (and eventually, cars, home furnishings and health care plans).

8. Enhance and Enable Curation - What does Generation Z care about? Finding and sharing the best stuff in the world. They aren’t just consumers, they are curators. They not only discover brands and products but they evaluate them with brilliant objectivity, sift through them, and share the results. Please a Generation Z-er with your particular product or service and you’ll earn your biggest supporter. As a result, marketers need to make it easy to share what their Gen Z customers love. From Facebook “Likes” to branded tweets to Polyvore’s brand expression collages, it’s never been easier to share your opinion online.

Quote from ISTEThe International Society for Technology in Education

“Comics are a great tool for engaging struggling learners, and when students use technology to create their comics, they build both digital age and traditional literacy skills.”

“Illustrating the story helps students with visual literacy, which in turn helps them express their thoughts; develop a storyline; and strengthen their reading, writing, and analytical skills.”

“Comics can help students at all levels overcome reading and writing difficulties by improving their literacy skills in an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and creativity.”
