Today's world is not the world we grew up in, and today's world is certainly not the world our children will live in. Because of the dramatic changes our world has undergone, today's digital generation are not the students our schools were designed for, and our students are not the students today's teachers were trained to teach.

This keynote examines the effect digital bombardment from constant exposure to digital media has on the digital generation in the new digital landscape, and considers the profound implications this holds for the future of education.
