The Millennial students today are the digital natives and teachers considered as digital immigrants. Due to the current COVID 19 pandemic situation the education sector experienced tremendous change and had to shift online. This paper aims to find out the teachers take on digital era and its impact in the field of education. To address the aim a survey was conducted on 96 teachers across Mumbai region. The findings of the study revealed the following: 1. 55.7% of teachers agree that students may have technological expertise but they lack in using it effectively for educational purpose. 2. 60.8% of teachers agree that with digital tools students may multitask better. 3. 54.6% of teachers strongly agree that students can stay connected with their mentors from anywhere and anytime. 4. 53.6% of teachers agree that digital tools offer better facilities to evaluate the knowledge of the students. 5. 48.5% of teachers agree that too much of digitalized education may lead to technology addiction among the students. 6. 62.9% of teachers agree that digital technology facilitates equitable and inclusive access to education. Thus, we can say that keeping in pace with the new trends and the need of the hour the best approach is to have blended education system.
