Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Mark Prensky, author of "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants" doesn't seem to think so. However, Nathan Bierma brings up some valid points of research that give us an opposing view in "Digital Natives: Myth or Fact". As far was creating an argument, this is an excellent article. I tend to agree with Mr. Prensky in that as a whole, my generation IS more techno savvy than that of past generations. On the other hand I believe that it is because of nurture not nature as Mr. Bierma claims.
P: His purpose was to offer the reader an opposing view point to "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants".
T: His topics included a range of arguments either proving or disproving points brought up by Mark Prensky.
I: Not all the claims made in "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants", such as teachers being replaced, are REALLY happening.
C: The subject is not as cut and dry as originally presented.
