Should the characterisics of today's kids change the way educators approach literacy development?

The characteristics of today's kids are definitely different from previous generations.  Educators should absolutely change their approach to teaching reading and writing.  Educators need to learn about the latest advancements in technology in order to understand how today's kids like to learn.  If today's kids learn better from being engaged in technology, then educators should take time to reflect on their own approaches to literacy development, making sure that technology is being utilized with their students.  If technology is not being used in the classroom, then educators should take the necessary steps needed in order to include it in their teaching.
