To provide every student with equitable access to the knowledge and skills needed to compete in a high-tech global marketplace, today's teachers must be ready to adopt technology. Each generation seems to be labeled. In a report published by the International Advisory Council on Education, Learning in the 21st Century: Teaching Today's Students on Their Terms, if you were born between the late 1940s and early 1960s, you were known as a “baby boomer”. If you were born between the mid-1960s and late 1970s, you were known as “Generation X.” The current generation of students born between 1980 and 2000 are known as “Millennials.” The report states that Millennials not only accept technology but also adapt to it and use it in their daily lives without even thinking about it. The report also states that Millennials “spend 6.5 hours each day saturated with print, electronic, digital, broadcast and news media. They listen to and record music; view, create and publish Internet content; playing video games; watch television; talk on mobile phones and instant messaging every day” (certiport.com). Teaching these students in the traditional way of the past is not enough. Today's employers are looking for a workforce that can apply skills in analytical thinking, team building, multitasking and problem solving. Basic digital literacy must be taught and validated to ensure that every student succeeds in the 21st century global marketplace. Hence the need to integrate wearable devices into today's classrooms.
