natives, are no longer the people the education system has been designed to teach. They are now instantaneous,
information saturated, wired. It _____ that they think and process information differently from their predecessors,

sophisticated. It is _____ that the availability of the internet helped condition them to ask questions and get
answers instantaneously, which is a far cry from the card catalogue and encyclopedias ' most digital immigrants
grew up with (Gandhi, 2009). This is the first generation of students who are more proficient with technology than
their teachers are (Moe, 2009). It _____ that teachers who fumble with technology will struggle to persuade
students that the information they are presenting is worthwhile (Rudi, 2009). This is a challenge to prepare students
