Our younsters are the digital natives and we need to understand them and the technology they use to be able to develop new teaching strategies for them. Not having students at the moment I interviewed family members. My youngest daughter (Isabel), two nieces (Inez and Maria José) and a nephew (Fransisco). Their ages vary from 12 to 16 and grades vary between 6th and 11th grades. None of these students have learning difficulties, yet we are able to see that the boy loves playing video games with his little sister while the older girls, although being digital natives, also appreciate reading books. As happens with most of our young generation, they all have their outdoor planned activities. These are urban students that have English as a second language.
