Challenges arise from the contrast between their digital skills and traditional teaching methods, making the integration of technology into the educational environment crucial. Through research and bibliographical studies, it was observed that Screenagers are immersed in electronic devices and have instant access to information, which affects their expectations in relation to learning.

The training of educators is essential to use technology as a central teaching tool and guide students on its ethical and responsible use. The integration of technology in education offers opportunities, allowing for more inclusive and personalized teaching. Collaboration between educators, managers, parents and the community is essential to adapt educational strategies to the needs of this generation, preparing Screenagers to be critical and creative citizens in a digital and globalized world. In conclusion, the Screenagers generation demands an up-to-date and innovative educational approach. By facing the challenges and exploring the possibilities offered by technology, education can prepare Screenagers for a future full of technological opportunities and challenges.
