The Sept. 15 edition of techLearning offers a piece entitled “portrait of a digital native.” The digital native/immigrant distinction has been argued by Marc Prensky. In addition to the description of a world most of us are assumed not to understand, Prensky argues the digital natives are frustrated with the educational world they encounter. Perhaps the techlearning article will persuade some that young learners operate in a world requiring a different educational approach.
Are we really that different? (previous post)
