Editor's Notes
- So here’s a digital native that I met at the Minneapolis airport last month Notice how she if plugged in. Digital technology is part of our world but is she proficient?

But it doesn’t mean that they know how to use it. Digial Savvy refers to the Digital Native who is not only comfortable but also knowledgeable in using technology. That is what we as teachers need to strive to support. So let’s talk about the arena where this is all happening.
