There is a saying that “a good teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light others”. There are problems in our educational sector that have deprived us of our identity as teachers. In our generation, people are having multiple careers i.e. careers are getting mixed up. We no longer have linear careers. The internet has soon started to change things and we as teachers need to step up.

Who is the digital child? They are the digital natives. For teachers to succeed with their students I.e. these digital natives, they have to change their strategy. They must be able to bring a new approach to educating these digital natives.

Teachers need to get involved in digital education; they most forcefully capture the students’ attention i.e. make them addicted to their courses. In order to educate the digital natives; we have to think digital in the mind, use creativity and experience learning, invest in digital psychologists, engage in social media and make a clan e.g. algebra clan.

To achieve this, it can’t be denied that we need funds, this should not be left alone to the proprietors rather Teachers can involve NGO to fund their school

In conclusion, the digital era is here and teachers need to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge in other to educate the children. Teachers should remember that they shape the future; they need to realize that the energy they give in the classroom drives the future.

For Africa to rise, education is key!.
