What is your belief and understanding of the nature of today's learners? Is there substance to the "engage or enrage" argument?

We are the future educators of a generation that has grown up with access to technologies like no other. Prensky (2006) suggests that this generation of learners may become disengaged in current learning environments as in their home lives they are engaged in the social technologies of the 21st century, hence the statement of "engage or enrage".  This means as future educators we need to adapt our current materials utilising technology to enhance the learning of our students in order for success in wider school communities.
