Digital Natives-Digital Immigrants Engaging The Google Generation, Michael Ross Mar 2014

Digital Natives-Digital Immigrants Engaging The Google Generation, Michael Ross

Forum Lectures

Our students are the "Digital Natives" in that they have grown up using the technology we as "Digital Immigrants" have considered tools. Tools which make us better teachers, learners and researchers. On the other hand our students do not think of the technology as tools but as an extension of their lives, using these technologies for personal interactions, group exploration and of course a source of content which we consider knowledge. In this digital immigrant presentation I try to highlight where our students are and suggest things we must do to help their learning.
