Description
Sheninger indicates that school leaders need to acknowledge that modern learners are ‘wired’ differently, and that their learning styles conflict with traditional teaching methods (2014, p.15). He claims that there has been a societal shift in the use of technology, with social media, mobile devices, and online communication driving a new knowledge ecosystem (O’Connell, 2015).
