TEK tools, an opportunity to teach them something new

Thinking about what Wesley Freyer states, we really can create a more student-centered courses with the use of the TEK tools, courses that will make the Net Geners more literate in “traditional/ essential” knowledge, as well as, in digital knowledge. But to achieve that, teachers will have to learn how to use more engaging and complex tools, so they can also amplify their (students) digital knowledge, once it’s said that the Net Geners know how to use well just simple tools (even if when they are asked, they answered that they knew how to use more complex tools pretty well, what some training programs found untrue).

Another thing teachers will have to do is to become more digital authors and producers, not only digital consumers. A good way to do that is using the Librarian 2.0, the Googledocs, the Wikipedia and the Blogs. Those are great tools to make not just the students to write more, but also the teachers, who could share their ideas and lessons with peers and other students, making the process of planning a lesson much more interesting.
