I thought the Presensky Article brought up a really good point regarding what students are facing in the classroom with teachers who are "Natives" versus "Immigrants". I have found in my experience their are several teachers who simply feel they can teach the exact same way they did 20 plus years ago! The newer teachers joining the field of education are typically "Natives" ready to integrate technology into the classroom and know how to make learning with the use of technology meaningful!
Many parents in my experience have commented on my age and question my ability to teach their children, however they don't understand how much more energy I have to put into my teaching! I truly believe that students should be able to adapt to how their teacher presents information. However, immigrants should learn the "new way" so they can prepare their students for what is ahead of them!
