The Alphas, AI, and the Metaverse: Game On!

January 16, 2025
NORTH 210D
School Leaders
The Alpha Generation are children born from the year 2010 through 2025. They are the children of tech savvy Generation Y and for the most part, the younger siblings of Generation Z. Their beginnings in 2010 coincided with the launch of the first iPad and Instagram. The Alphas are a generation of children that are hyperconnected and profoundly entrenched in new technologies, social networks, and content consumption through gaming. They have been raised on responsive technology involving platforms such as TikTok, Minecraft, YouTube, and Roblox. From a formal education perspective, Alphas may be the most demanding, impatient and skeptical group of students to ever grace our classrooms. Educators may find success providing constant, seamless, integrated and personalized experiences that utilize gaming principles of voice, video, and values. This presentation will illustrate the learning characteristics of Alphas and examine how AI, the metaverse, and gaming principles can lead to educational success. Game On!
