Homo Zappiens
Growing up in a digital age

by
Wim Veen and Ben Vrakking

This innovative book provides a positive view on Homo Zappiens – a generation of children born with a computer mouse in their hand. It looks at the skills and knowledge that today's children can bring to schools, with suggestions on how teaching practices can be adapted. With startling insight the authors explore:
  how society as a whole is changing the way it learns
    how technology is influencing the skills and attitudes of learners
    how video/computer games and TV can become tools for learning
   
how to manage information flow and intertwine face-to-face and virtual communities

WIM VEEN is professor of Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology, where he and postgraduate research student BEN VRAKKING are researching new concepts and strategies for ICT-enhanced learning. Wim is also a consultant for educational institutions as well as for private companies and governmental authorities.
