A digital native is someone who has grown up with digital technology and perceives it as a friend. Digital natives rely on technology to work, study, play, relax and communicate, changing the way they learn. Students universally prefer dealing with questions rather than answers, sharing opinions, participating in group projects involving real world issues and people, and having teachers communicate with them as equals rather than inferiors. Teachers can use technology to effectively communicate with digital native students.
