Digital native student vs Digital immigrant teachers

Discussion on Digital native student vs. Digital immigrant Teachers was very interesting and informative. It’s rightly stated that children of today are the digital native because we can obviously make out in our day to day life experiences. Since children are born in the digital world, they are very fast at learning to use digital devices.  They are definitely different from what we were as a student. Their learning style has changed therefore as teachers; we need to adapt our self and adjust to the contemporary learning style of the new generation.

It is therefore, in the recent years, there has been increase of interest in how ICT can best be used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of teaching and learning practices in our classrooms, especially among the education community. Several terminologies have been used to indicate this notion of using ICT in our classroom. For instance blended learning, e-learning, distance learning and ICT integrated learning etc. Of these, “ICT in education”seems to be the most widely used term to indicate this process of using Information and communication Technology in the classrooms worldwide.
