Adigital native is a person for whomdigital technologies already existed

when they were born, and hence hasgrown up with digital technologysuch as computers, the Internet,

mobile phones and MP3s.

A digital immigrant is an individual whogrew up without digital technology

and adopted it later.

Educators absolutely must be driven to learn in order to

teach effectively in the 21st Century.

It is no longer acceptable to teach only from a textbook, to rely on

the same worksheets an methods year after year without at least

questioning them and researching

why they are the best resource available.

There is simply too much new

information, too many new strategies, and new learning

available to us to ignore the implications

it may have for students in our class.

Not many teachers would consider themselves digitalnatives, but we must understand enough about digital

content and how it is used to effectively operate in our

student’s world.

This means having social media accounts andunderstanding how they are used, even if you don’t

use them specifically for learning.

We must be familiar enough with the new digitallandscape that we can help students navigate their

journey online,even if we don’t (or can’t) join them.

Whether posted online or simply

used in the classroom, our materials must be highlyengaging and effective. PowerPoint and Word are

becoming antiquated as newer and morepowerful presentation and editing suites

become available to teachers.

It is our responsibility to compete (where necessary)with the quality of video games andmedia construction in order to hook

students into great learning.As media conscious teachers,

we can win student attention by working with them,not against them, for their learning.

As teachers of our time, we must realizethe implications of pervasive technologies

such as smart phones and

highly mobile tablets/computers.In addition, we must find ways to

‘make it work’ with technology,

which may include enlistingstudents to help or learn more

about the technologies we are using.

…we work at making the technology work( in the best way we can)

so the lesson becomes aboutthe learning instead of themanagement of machines.

Gone are the days when teachersdole out assignments and send

students on their merry way.

A modern educator realizes the

plethora of factors impacting

students in our current world,

and strives to tailor learningwhere possible

toward individualized

needs and interests.Teacher HelpingGirl On Laptop. Photography. Encyclopædia Britannica Image Quest. Web. 28 Mar 2012.http://quest.eb.com/images/154_2883701

This student-centered focus

also creates learningopportunities for the

teacher to learn with students,

developing their

teaching and collaborative skills.
