 * New age classrooms: technology and the changing role of teachers.**

In this new age where children are part of the net generation there has been a shift in power in the classroom. The role of the teacher now has to change as a result and in New Zealand, the traditional role of the teacher is changing in a way which sees them promoting the use of participation, collaboration and a sense of community amongst learners and also teachers. This presentation discusses how the teacher’s role is changing in relation to using educational technology in today’s digital classrooms.
