According to Wikipedia, “Digital pedagogy is the study and use of contemporary digital technologies in teaching and learning.” Digital pedagogy may be applied to online, hybrid, and face-to-face learning environments. Oxford University Press defines digital pedagogy as the study of how to teach using digital technologies. Today’s generation being tech-savvy is labeled as the ‘Gen C’, ‘Gen I’, ‘Net Gen’, ‘Gen Y’, ‘Gen Z’, ‘Internet Generation’, ‘digital natives’, etc. Digital natives are those born after 1980 who were raised in an environment in which they were surrounded by technology and who possess technological skills different from those possessed by the members of the prior generation (Palfrey and Gasser, 2013, and Prensky, 2001).- Reproduced
