After reading so many articles about the new digital generation and its impact in the learning, society and communication, I become aware of teachers are facing a big challenge in their classrooms everyday and I was wondering we are ready to handle these changes? Are we ready to tackle these issues in our schools? What we are doing in order to face these changes? Are the schools providing us with the right tools to confront these changes? Am I preparing myself academically to be involved with this new way to teach?

It is easy to see that our traditional curriculum is getting obsolete for this new students generation and we need to be more risky trying new innovated lessons in which our students become seekers of knowledge using the new technology. But we must first invest in discovery so they can use the technologies properly. It is a big challenge for everyone particular because we did not grow up with this ultra technology universe compare with our students since their birth. Today, children come into class with more information that their teachers however this does not mean that they have more knowledge but there is a new way of learning for them and we should be very concerned about this.
