Teachers, learning environments and students of the 21st century are vastly different from those found in the 20th century. Neo millennial students have always known an electronically media rich world. Digital age students have high comfort levels with e learning tools i.e. computers, internet, gaming devices, and smart phones. Digital age highly qualified teachers need to be able to implement student centered, problem based learning experiences utilizing the e tools that populate the world of today’s students.
