When teachers comes for the lectures students getting board, But nowadays teachers comes with the digital material (video) in the classroom so, students didn't get bored.With that students enjoy their learning interestingly. 

Through the video students get harder things to easily. video gives us so many options to learn subject. With the different kinds of videos we can understand easily about the subject. Internet gives us more facilities to show videos, like you tube, we can search for anything and it will give us so many videos about maths,literature , science, and so many things. We can also save the video and also watch later so with that we can save our time and whenever we  want to learn we do. So, it is all dependent on self learning video is very important for the home-schoolers with that they can spend more time with the teachers.

In traditional  education system teachers only busy with their classes and academic work so they can't give us more time to educate. But internet give us one feature named flipped learning. It is also a video learning system. Which is very important for the self learning. Students can pause video when at that time they learning about the things. so, with that teachers give their time to students anywhere and anytime.

Second hand who was not anything knowing about the digital things later on in their life to gain comfort they also doing the use of digital things known as digital immigrants. Present time and the future time also called a time of technology. The new generation growing up with the technology and students also doing self learning with technology. Today's busy life surrounded around the digital tools like computers, T.V, smart phones, video games, laptops, projectors etc...People  do not interested into reading but interesting in playing with digital tools.

Those who was not born into digital world but later on for their fascinated life they adopted many aspects from new technology so, they compared to them with digital immigrants. They take more time to learn. New technology rather than digital natives. In the future time digital natives do not take more time to learn things based on digital. So, it is simple for them. At the last we can say that if digital immigrants wants to learn digital things, they have to change their traditional way of thinking and teaching and they have to learn new methodology of teaching with new technology.
