Five ways you think a teacher's might need to change common practice to engage digital natives
-Communication with home- Many of the parents today are like myself, 1st gen immigrants who are capable of navigating the digital media. Using less convential comms methods can save both parents and teachers time and keep parents engaged with school
-Use of digital books and webpages to enhance learning. Hyperlinks are very useful for defining unfamiliar words or expounding on a subject that may be beyond the scope of the reading
-Understand that natives are able to multitask and take advantage of that skill
-Don't over tech something that doesn't need it. Often, I find that time is wasted trying to get some tech happening instead of presenting the material
-Sometimes things don't need to be fixed. Change for change sake is counter-productive.
