Challenges and Best Practices for Teaching Gen Z Students
08.05.2024
Confusion, imposter syndrome, communication issues, and leadership challenges are common at any stage of a professional journey. Young specialists might fear, "I could never be like that", while experienced professionals might grapple with the question "What do I do now?" after getting a promotion or starting in a new role. Questions like "How do I communicate effectively?", "How do I ask for help or offer assistance?", and "How do I lead, and whom do I follow?" are everyday concerns in the workplace. Understanding one's professional voice can help them navigate these questions successfully from the beginning of their career. That is why educators should assist students in nurturing such a voice thoughtfully and from very early on. During this livestream, Andrew Paul will share his methods, drawn from years of training industry specialists, for addressing issues of confidence, leadership, and communication in students to help them better understand and voice themselves in an increasingly demanding working environment. #career #techskills #techindustrytips #techcareerinsights 🚀 Free Licenses and Coupons for JetBrains Products Teaching computer science?

Integrated into homework and exams, CTF challenges create a stimulating and competitive learning environment.

Seamless integration with student routines

In my research, I sought a solution that would fit in the routine and context of the students. As an institute, we already have free JetBrains licenses, so I was more than happy they launched JavaScript support in the JetBrains Academy plugin. No need for extra tools, just plug and play within an environment they are using anyway.
