Abstract

Professors of pre-service teachers are usually referred as digital immigrants, while their students are typically described as digital natives.

As digital immigrants, teachers and their students learn to become seasoned professionals in innovation, through the use of apps on iPads that assist with productivity, efficiency and convenience, allowing students to thrive as digital natives and meet the demands of a diverse 21st century classroom.
