Digital natives in our classrooms have different orientation and learning mind-set. The information they need is to be accessible instantly and all the time. Sometimes engaging tools can add more interest and excitement in the whole learning experience. The students' sample of this research work were connected and disseminated through very dynamic tool: Whatsapp. The cross-messaging platform was easily accessible and could be used for diverse kinds of files/links/documents sharing, which benefitted all. This app brings dynamism and more engagement between teacher-student since it is a very familiar tool and has ease of use.

Abstract


Digital natives in our classrooms have different orientation and learning mind-set. The information they need is to be accessible instantly and all the time. Sometimes engaging tools can add more interest and excitement in the whole learning experience. The students' sample of this research work were connected and disseminated through very dynamic tool: Whatsapp. The cross-messaging platform was easily accessible and could be used for diverse kinds of files/links/documents sharing, which benefitted all. This app brings dynamism and more engagement between teacher-student since it is a very familiar tool and has ease of use.
