This document discusses bridging the gap between digital natives and digital immigrants/foreigners in education. It notes that students are being prepared for jobs that don't yet exist using technologies that haven't been invented to solve problems we can't yet foresee. It suggests incorporating more technology like blogs, videos and games into education to better engage digital native students and prepare them for an increasingly digital future. A variety of free and easy to use digital tools are presented that teachers can use to incorporate more technology into their lessons.
