“The single biggest problem facing education today is that our digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language that of the pre-digital age are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language” M. Prensky (2001) P2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