Dear friends,
I think we should go posting whatever we think can be used in the final paper….As we’ll probably cut and paste a lot….

Just to give a initial kick: let's start!!!

About the digital generation: they're usually honest: they don't pretend to be interested when they're not. When they're bored we can see it clearly in their faces and in their attitudes. And many times, in the middle of a traditional class, we look at their faces and they seem to say: - Please teacher, do something different!
But what different could we do?
Digital native students use technology not only everyday but all the time in their routines. Being so, technology is something that interests them, it’s really ``real life`` for them and can be a very motivational tool for teaching. When students are motivated they’re interested, and therefore they’re more open to ``inputs`` that may lead to real acquisition.
But, how can ``tech experts`` be taught by ``tech immigrants``?
