Abstract

Nurse educators are challenged to develop educational methodologies that meet the characteristics of today's learners. Millennial and Generation Z students often prefer to use technology and smartphones rather than traditional formats. An alternative teaching strategy for a written journal that may have a pedagogical advantage for this group of learners is the Pecha Kucha 20 × 20 method (Pecha Kucha). The Pecha Kucha's anecdotal structure paired with its use of technology support students' twenty-first-century literacies. This paper discusses using this learner-centered approach in a study abroad in Italy to foster reflection of their cultural encounters.
