Encouraging, equipping and empowering teachers with creative technology

There is a lot of discussion about being digital natives and digital immigrants. There is, I believe, a misconception about our digital natives being BORN with TECH SKILLS, though I don't think that is the point. They have been born in a Communication Society and Technologically Advanced Era. They are bombarded by 3 frames per second Images since they are born, constantly changing activities, and multitasking; all these, I think, due to a fast society.
Though, where do we , Digital Immigrants fit? How can we speak their language, if we haven't had the experiences they had? How can we close this gap?
The article by Marc Prensky, attached, might help us understand.
