Beyond The Book…

(…) our professors who are digital immigrants see the technology as a series of 'programs' or 'things' or - in linguistic terms - nouns.

Today’s students, if they are 'native speakers' of digital technology view it in a very different way. They see technology as the means of getting things done: of communicating, of sharing, of presenting, etc. In linguistic terms our students see technology as verbs.

…but often not to us!

Beyond The Book…

I don’t know anythingabout technology…

My students know so much more about computers than I do.

I don’t like them so I don’t see why I shoulduse them in class.

Using computers isn’t interactive – my learners could do computer work at home.

I get the opportunity of "hanging" with students daily. Are they tech-comfy? You bet. Tech-savvy? Not even close in many cases. Just because our students and kids are digital natives (or digital residents?), it doesn't mean they are tech-literate. Mike Sansone - http://tinyurl.com/4m3dlq

A report from the European parliament concluded yesterday that computer games are good for children and teach them essential life skills - "video games can stimulate learning of facts and skills such as strategic thinking, creativity, cooperation and innovative thinking, which are important skills in the information society."

Results from the most extensive U.S. study on teens and their use of digital media show that America’s youth are developing important social and technical skills online (…) “we found that spending time online is essential for young people to pick up the social and technical skills they need to be competent citizens in the digital age.”
