Millennial learners want and expect the use of technology in their courses. This integrative literature review synthesizes and presents the findings from existing literature that inform the use of educational technology by nursing faculty to engage millennial learners. Six primary research articles were selected after a search of the CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, and PubMed electronic databases with keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Using thematic analysis three patterns were identified: technological tools, professional consumption versus personal creativity, and enhancing and supplementing content. This review suggests that nursing faculty should implement technology in nursing education that is congruent with the generational traits of millennial learners. Educators should seek recommendations and evaluation feedback about technology from the millennial learners. The use of educational technology captivates the interest of millennial nursing students. Nursing faculty working with millennial learners must stay on the educational technology wave to facilitate maximum student engagement. This review of the literature reveals the need for further research in this area of nursing education. However, a number of practical findings can be easily integrated into nursing faculty’s teaching practice.enAvailable to the World Wide Webgeneration ymillennialeducation technologynursing educationUsing technology to engage the millennial nursing student: an integrative review of the literatureproject
