21st century skills in the Thai context

We are now stepping towards another era, which is called Gen 'D'; in other words, the digital age of the 21st century. One of the skills required to live in this era is 'computer literacy.' Well... I believe that many people are capable of sending emails, writing their documents on word processing and using social networking media. Also, they can use their smart phones to snap photos or shoot videos, and then they show their snapshots or clips on te Internet.

In the Thai context, teenagers are also using smart phones and tablets on every occasion. In my writing class, they use their dictionary apps to find unknown words, or google for more factual information on wiki. However, when it comes to assignments, I could not find my students on my Facebook or blogger at all. Well...what happened? Are they hopping somewhere on their social networking media or are they playing online games with their friends?

Can anyone find my students to respond to my blogs, please?
