  This article explores the generations of learners, how we can utilize technology in learning, the discovery of education community and learning science. The authors discussed further educational Goals about learning, improving student's success, engagement and learning through people to people interaction, people and tools, using information technology device as a vehicle by which concepts are presented (such as using simulations, and animations), using collaboration and rich media communication to promote interaction an engagement.
  The author discusses how access to technology determines generation of learners, such as the Net generation. According to the authors, many students in the K-12 and post-secondary education do not have adequate access to advanced instructional technologies or the web. Despite the engagement created by technology-enabled interactive instruction, many students, teachers, do not have the requisite experiences. The authors went further that internet resources are not yet fully integrated into the day-t0-day classroom routine.
  The authors cited a finding that proposed that motivation is a key factor to learning, and that engagement and learning can be achieved through competency and control, curriculum, instruction, the organization, management of the schools and the environmental conditions. Furthermore, according to the authors, the Board on Children, Youth and Families 2004 National report recommended that we can keep young people in school and making learning worthwhile by forming a good connection between learners and the context in which learning occurs. We should also make the curriculum and instructions relevant to adolescents' experiences, cultures, and long term goals.
  
  This article is useful to my team to enable us make the best of instructions, learning, engagement for teaching technical courses to our students. The article also equips us with skills that are necessary for staying motivated, developing our growth mindset and that of our students. Generally, non-technology majors find IT courses very challenging, having read and review this article, we have found ways to improve engagement, motivations and better committing these students. The article also present how we can use technology to maximize students' success and provide a motivating learning environment for our students. We also found the need to provide learning environments that are interactive, active social and learner-centered. The article is further important and relevant to us because it provided us with the ways and the necessity of having people to people-synchronous instructions and incorporation people and tools.
