The Web is increasingly transforming the way we learn, socialize, and work. In a time where web content has become more readily accessible and where just about anyone with Internet access can produce and publish content, information literacy is a more critical skill than ever before. Further, given the vast amounts of data and resources available, learners have access to resources and tools that can help them be more productive, creative and innovative 21st century thinkers.  

Research indicates that digital natives are among the top users of the Web specifically in social media and gaming platforms, and mobile devices are their main vehicles for access. With educational vendors collaborating with high-tech companies to provide educators and learners with rich content for use with these technologies, how will you embrace these game-changers in a world where learners primarily use these tools for entertainment? What is necessary for learners to make a paradigm "digital learning shift"? Come be a part of the trend to innovate learning.
