Something that I agreed with very
strongly in Sara Kajder’s Adolescents and
Digital Literacies, is that when an educator is seeking help with using a
digital tool in the classroom, they should never be afraid to learn from their students. Technology is only technology if the object
in question was not around when the person was born. In this regard, our students will be much
more knowledgeable with digital tools then we will ever because they do not
have to learn to use them since to them, it will be second nature. We must remember
that we will continue to learn until the day that we die. It would behoove us to not fight this fact,
but to embrace it so that the classroom can work as a single functioning unit
to achieve the level of success desired.
