Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants: Commentary

Here we have yet another reading about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. The same tune to a different blog post. Are Digital Natives so very different than the Digital Immigrants and if they are different is it so different that they can't work together in the same ways? The author says that the claims made in the original article are too much. I tend to agree. Humans are adaptable and so of course we are going to change with our environment but Immigrants can be just as proficient as Natives. I really liked what he said about computers being a tool to teach with not the teachers themselves. A computer program is only as good as its programmers. The teacher can use this great tool to help them teach and the processes may change a little bit but learning still comes the same ways it always has.
P: This is a commentary on an article and is full of the authors opinions on the subject.
T: There are arguements from both sides of the fence as to whether Digital Natives and Immigrants are really all that different.
I: Is the claim that Digital Natives are extremely different than their predecessors true?
C: He concludes that no the extremist view is wrong.

Letter from Birmingham

P: He outlined his plans and visions for equality.
T: He addressed reasons why nonviolent protesting was the way to go.
I: Was nonviolence better than violence?
C: He says nonviolence will work and we can have peace if the people live up to their Christian name.
