The desire to acquire more knowledge than is available in front of them/ in the classroom is what influences teachers and students to use technology in the classroom. 

The ISTE standards includes students as the center of everything teachers do, educators as the key for the students’ success, education leaders guide administrators in supporting digital age learning, technology coaches help bridge the gap from where we are to where we need to be, computer science educators describe what computer science teachers must know and be able to do to help students effectively integrate these essential concepts. The student standard is very meaningful to me because without the students there would be no need for teachers. Students are also the doctors and politicians of tomorrow they are so incredibly important to society. Computer science educator seems a bit out of my skill level because I am not the most technologically advanced person.

 Personally, I do agree with the phrase digital native. It means that this generation was born and has grown up during the time of technological dependency. The only difference I have noticed between my teachers use of technology and mine would just be the amount that I use technology compared to my teachers. They tend to use it a lot less than a “digital native”. I think that the more that technology is introduced into the classroom will lessen the relationship between the teacher and student.
