This document discusses how to engage digital native students. It notes that over 90% of students use the internet for education and communicate socially through imagery and creative self-expression. To effectively teach this generation, it recommends providing bite-sized content on a variety of accessible devices, encouraging constant connection and transparency. Teachers should share information in real-time, use students' own devices and software, enable peer review and discussion, and engage students both inside and outside the classroom with the tools and materials that appeal to them.
