Based on the nets a, by establishing the digital into the classroom culture. Its all about  focus on innovation and improvement in the classroom. And that it is being used effectively. To make sure its going to be used for the individual and diverse needs of users. And also digital calibrations. There has to be commitment my the teachers,administrators, and the entire school system.

It is found that it can discourage learning if you do not expand into the digital world. Because most students have access to the internet, email, news, and keep up with current events online. For these students incorporating technology will help bring challenge and focus and something they can connect with and interact with. The more interaction the more inspiration is given in what can actually be created and shared with. When students see technology as a gift of endless potential for their futures, it will aid in their continued growth through out all the years at school and home.

It is harder for the teachers who are digital natives but they need to update to using more technology in the classroom because of of now that is how students are able to learn more quickly and with more options for learning styles. Technology will always be growing and the more we implement it now In the classroom the more we are helping children get the best information and preparation for this world.

com/ tools can be used to keep on track where students strengths are. And keep both the students and teachers organized and on the same page, to promote growth.

Importance is learning critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, communication, calibration, and so forth and the technologies available are going to help with people with growing these skills and talents that will only bring access to them in the 21st century (murray, 208. P.39)

The different generations are all going to grow, the millennial and the generation z’s to come they will be the ones who will use the web tools, video, blogging every day, texting, constantly creating. It shows that the new generation has grown up with structure and vision and are goal oriented and great multitaskers. Its that where the teacher can keep open communication with the students, having the students share their experiences and ideas and that will bring a great connection between students and teachers. 

I also think it would be very important to add in penpals for the students, through email, and they can share scrapbooks, pictures, and so on. Maybe even skype chats for them in the classes to talk to other schools in different countries. Show them how big the world really is, get them excited that there are endless things to see and learn and i think it would be very inspiring for students.
