What is Our Task as Teachers for the Digital Generation?

From my readings, I discovered that educators must operate from a constant need to keep conversations with our students open and viable, asking good questions and not just giving our own answers, but looking from multidimensional points of view. Also, the imperative is to think beyond the specifics of discrete skills and knowledge and easily accountable measures of achievement. More so, it means to look qualitatively and dynamically at how language works, how students learn and how learning achievement can break new ground. Furthermore, it means we have to use our knowledge, experiences, expertise and imagination to help our students create a central place for reading and writing in their lives.
