The document discusses how classrooms and students are changing due to technology shifts. It notes that today's students have grown up with technology in a way that was not the case for previous generations. Teachers need to consider who their current students are, as digital natives, rather than relying on outdated assumptions. Technology impacts both who teachers instruct and how they fulfill their responsibilities.

1. THEME #2: SHIFT AND STUDENTS
• It’s not your parents’ classroom anymore…
• And it will not be the same one that you were in, either
• So, who will your students be?
• We care about technology in this class, but whose technology?
• Mine? Yours? Your teachers? Your students?
• Consider who your students are (not what you are used
to), and go from there?
