Summary/Abstract: The process of effectively teaching of digital natives by digital immigrants has many complications,resulting in disrupting the structure of the education methodology. Contemporary access by children to the latest technologies greatly affects nature of their education and specific process of information gathering or remembering, and after that on the possibility of using them in reality atan adequate time. Neuronal brain structures occurring in the X, Y or Y generation permanentlyadapt to the changing environment conditions in which they are functioning. The lack of matchingof adequate methods of work by teachers with a specific group of people (who grew up in a developing information society), can lead the education system to degradation and decline in its quality.Nowadays children easily use the latest technologies. It has significant impact on the attitude ofthe youngest generation, which thanks to them, can learn and improve in this field much faster.The lack of participation of digitization in the education process may lead to an even greater distance between the world of teachers, who were completely differently taught, and the world ofstudents for whom the methodology of old teaching strategies is discouraging. The teacher’s flexibility and willingness to constant improvement is the only way for them to meet the expectationsof the changing educational environment and obtaining abilities to adapt the most effective way ofteaching, taking into account the child’s point of view, not their own.
