DIGITAL ABILITIES AND DIGITAL LEARNING STYLES OF MY STUDENTS

There is no doubt that students these days have changed so much that (Prenskey, 2001) described them as “Digital Natives” and (Dede, 2010) called them “Millenia learners” because of their unparalleled exposure to all forms of technology and all forms of media, this exposure according to many experts has changed the way they access, consume and use information which is showing no sign of slowing down. Because of this exposure, the way students learn and use information has radically changed and is causing a sort of disconnect between students and their teachers that are mostly using styles that are designed for students before the age of technology.
