Teachers who find technology to be somewhat of a foreign concept--digital immigrants--do not easily move through digital work environments or actively seek new tools and opportunities.

These digital immigrants will often translate digital work back into an \"analog\" format.

Digital natives--most students today--have grown up surrounded by digital technology and have learned to adapt quickly to changing surroundings. They feel comfortable in a digital space and also enjoy discovering new innovations that change the way that they live, work, and communicate.

Teachers who find themselves speaking a different technology language than their students need to actively seek out additional support in being able to take advantage of the power that technology can have on students\' growth and success.
