Abstract
Members of the knowledge society, of the network society or of the informatics society are some names that seem to define the current generation. Net generation is a generic nomenclature which covers all the previous terms. Digital immigrants are the subjects whom were born before the advent of digital technologies and who joined to them. Digital natives are the subjects whom were born in the current generation and that would have special qualities, especially regarding the learning process. Considering all this context, a question arises: how the digital immigrants teach the digital natives? This item justifies itself because there is a meeting of generations, in theory, significantly differentiated. Due to this, it would be necessary to identify the appropriate educational forms according to the presented situation. Our teaching experience convinces us that, yes, we should valorize the information’s technologies and communication, understanding that these are means, not ends. It is important to highlight that any tool causes advances and regressions, a fact that serves to guide our teaching practice.

We conducted a narrative review of the literature (CORDEIRO; OLIVEIRA; REINTERÍA; GUIMARÃES, 2007) and tailor with our teaching practice. Is it our posture and teaching practice suitable with the current context of the net generation? In other words, how we, as digital immigrants, deal with the digital natives in the matter to teaching and learning? These are some questions we want to answer in the coming lines

Summary
It was in the beginning of the 1980s, that the Polish Adam Schaff (1990) launched his markable work Wohin führt der Weg. If the first industrial revolution was marked by the gradual replacement of the human force by steam engines and, later, by electrical machines; The second stage is characterized by refining the mechanisms in terms of discrete components, made possible by the encapsulation of electronic circuits in silicon tablets. This represented, at that time, that machine models that existed so far as projects that could be implemented and put to the service of the production of goods and circularity of information. What unifies is the interposition, between the human thought and the phenomenological world, of elements of mediation (or instrumentals): the spoken word, the written word and the word in terms of binary codes
