"How technology has shaped the psychology of today's college learners" 

What is different about the new generation of students? Jean Twenge, Ph.D., author of "Generation Me", gives a behind-the-scenes look at her dataset on 2 million young people spanning seven decades. Significant changes include increases in self-esteem and narcissism, a rise in entitlement and expectations, and a decline in mental health. These psychological shifts, along with changes in technology, have created a generation of students with strikingly different expectations for their college experience. Dr. Twenge addresses classroom strategies for teaching this generation, also drawing on her experience as a university professor.
