This article is devoted to the brain changes during the leaning and teaching process. The results of the study present different tools and methods that equip modern educators and students. The author describes different aspects of the learning process and different learning styles. He provides some information about different stereotypes that appears on our way The author proposes the list of IT-competencies and methodological competences of teachers and students, necessary for been educator in the 21st century. Is it really different to teach in the 21st century than it was to teach in the 20th century or before? Many people saying, that the great evolution was in technologies, but teaching - is teaching and nothing more than that. Our students are digital multi-modal learners, who have different learning styles. They learn quantities of information in a structured surface format they record in working memory and stored in permanent memory for interactivity and reflection. Nowadays students ask more and more multimedia contents. And this is the real profile of our clients, our students, they are asking this to us. Multimodal learning has versus multimedia teaching and humans are multimodal learners. They learn through words, written sentences, images, audio. And all of this shows that our brain has different areas for different functions. We should present our contents in different formats and this modifies format that we should offer our contents, gives us the opportunity to make simultaneous and synchronize. This means that information can be presented four times or more easy understanding of our students. When students use several communication channels it is like we are multiplying the information to be presented. This is the challenge of today. And this stimulates us to create a new pedagogical and technological methods which will be in tune with our time and which will help our students to use their brains operate at its full potential and for this we will need new educational strategies in today’s digital environment
