As educators we should be respectful to the needs of the ‘digital natives’. This new generation of technology usage is shown in the way in which they converse with each other through social networking and short message services. In order to promote student engagement this is how we should teach. As teachers it is our responsibility to keep up with progressive teaching tools. This includes ICT and should be implemented within the classroom to encourage, engage and motivate learners to create links between education and the ‘real world’. “lCT is an important part of everyone's future regardless of which generation they belong to” (Hilkemeijer, 2007 pg 13).
