“The single biggest problem facing education today is that our digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language that of the pre-digital age are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language” M. Prensky (2001) P2

 

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

there is sense in what is said, but we must have the courage to keep the old and practice the up to date.

The digital world is advancing quite at a fast speed ... more than we can ever think of. I think techers must really keep up to date, no matter how hard that may seem to be.

Thanks for your post! I am quite interested about what you think. How do use the internet for either teaching or learning English. What suggestions would you have either for a teacher or for a student that wanted to use a computer for English learning?
