Abstract: Today's students have many interests, such as playing computer and mobile games, watching movies and videos, social networking, messaging, santing photos and videos. Students create photos and videos on their own using computer software or smartphones. Modern teenagers are much different from previous generations due to several objective reasons, so there is a need to teach them in a new way, otherwise outdated classical teaching methods become ineffective. As a rule, every teenager has his or her own personal mobile device that he uses mainly for entertainment. Often, students do not realize the great potential of the smartphone and its educational capabilities. The article analyzes the features of modern teenagers according to the theory of digital Generation Z. In the research participated 200 students from 7-9 grades of Kharkiv secondary schools. It is analyzed teenagers’ attitudes to mobile technologies, as well as it is investigated the using of mobile technologies in the study of chemistry in the secondary school of Ukraine. The article highlights the problems that impede the application of mobile technologies for the study of chemistry and outlines the prospects for future research devoted to the use of mobile technologies in the educational process for teenagers learning. The expediency of using mobile educational applications to optimize the learning process is outlined.
