Abstract
The media has promoted the expansion of electronics in this the modern age.  Children today are proficient with all of the latest gadgets, and this phenomenon has

taken over most of their play time. In the classrooms, learners have changed in the recent years, because of the technologies, and even though the teachers were not

born in the digital age, they have benefited from the new technologies (KURT et al, 2013).  Kuehn, 2012 contends that teachers who try to leave the duality of the

digital age, may find that their personal and professional lives may create unintended boundary crossing.  By using Facebook, iPods, tablets, smartphones, and other

gadgets, and being born before 1980, or being born after 1980; should there be a divide of digital natives and digital immigrants? The contention is that digital

natives grew up in an environment of technology, and that the digital immigrants adapted to this new environment through their ability to learn.

Digital Natives vs Digital Immigrants
Introduction
There is a digital divide in many aspects in view of the learner and teacher characteristics (Kurt, Gunuc, & Ersoy, 2013).  The contention is that digital natives

grew up in an environment of technology, and that the digital immigrants adapted to this new environment through their ability to learn.  It is also the contention

that pre-computer age folks are the immigrants and the natives are the young (Kuehn,  2012).  Digital immigrants represent individuals who were not born exactly in

the technology age but who sometimes use, and want to speak the same language as their peers (Kurt, Gunuc, & Ersoy, 2013).  There is also what is known as settlers,

who were defined as being slower than the immigrants and natives, and accustomed to text based learning and teaching (Kurt, Gunuc, & Ersoy, 2013).
