Summary/Abstract: ICT and Digital Natives are revolutionizing societies and ways of living. So far, schools and teachers do not seem to have completely taken these changes into account. This paper explores the latest trends in ICT in education and aims to understand how Digital Natives think, learn, work and live, so that educational agents can provide better and more structured solutions.In the first part, we analyze ICT near and medium-trends in what education is concerned and summarize its possible consequences to schools and teachers. The second half is dedicated to the generation born in 1980, called Millenials or Digital Natives, and tries to summarize the possible impact in schools as a result of their ways of living and dealing with information. We end with a list of suggestions for educational agents.
