Will Digital Natives Revolutionize Teaching?

My comment:



I believe that young teachers are not necessarily digital natives, even when trained in a technology-drivenduring the graduation course. However, young teachers are more open to working tools of technology in the classroom with their students. There are rare older teachers with more experience in the classroom ready to trade their way of teaching, since they believe that “I have always done like this and it is working well, I see no reason to change”. What I see based on my reality that disagrees with that article is that, even at 22, in a digital age, I do not know all the tools used by my students or not dominate them completely, but I am always open to know, learn to use in practical day-to-day and have students as my teachers in the technology they master many times better than me. The important thing is to be open and willing to change and not lose focus of your goal with that particular activity using the technology.
