4. THE DIGITAL BRAIN AND OUR ROLE AS
EDUCATORS
Students’ digitally conditioned brains are 21st century brains,
and teachers must encourage these brains to operate fully in
our classrooms. We must recognize that relationships and
focused attention are key to learning in this century. If we can
help students balance the gifts technology brings with these
human gifts, they will have everything they need.
