Digital Natives Digital Immigrants – Prensky (PDF)
Having downloaded this a while ago and finally got around to reading it last night I find myself wondering which camp I belong in.
I did not grow up with ubiquitous network access and a world of information at my fingertips but I now find myself being able to assimilate data from a variety of sources simultaneously. I find myself learning more through doing than I do through being taught.
I do however find myself telling my kids that they have to pay attention at school, listen to what I try and teach them, and learn through instruction rather than through the trial and error of actually attempting what they want to achieve.
So which am I?
