The legacy of this theory is that many teachers continue to trot out the same old line that students are ''natives'' whilst they, being older and less familiar with technology, are ''immigrants.'' His argument is that the use of digital technologies is not about when you were born, but about what tools you decide to use most often.

Teacher beliefs about pedagogy are central to the successful integration of new technologies into schools. The extent to which they see technology skills as relevant and valuable directly relates to the extent to which these skills are practised and applied in their work. New technology really has to be shown to be relevant and useful.

One question that is often asked within this discourse, is whether technology can actually improve education by providing learners with opportunities to be creative.
