M Prensky - On the horizon, 2001 - pre2005.flexiblelearning.net.au
This article written by Marc Prensky is the first part of a two part article on Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. In this article Prensky talks about how digital natives brains work differently when using a computer and the Internet compared to the brain of a digital immigrant, this could be because of their "accents" and the fact that digital natives have been brought up using the Internet where as digital immigrants have had to learn how to use the Internet, the main argument is that technology has to be brought into the early stages of eduction, to some disagree.

S Bennett, K Maton, L Kervin - British journal of educational technology, 2008
This article deals with the question of is traditional education ready for digital natives or the "net generation" this article also states that traditional education is unprepared for the sophisication of digital natives computer and Internet skills, could this effect the way they learn because they are used to "googling" instead of the traditional method of reading a text book?
The article also goes onto say that there is a state of "moral panic" due to technology and children using it.

ReplyDeleteThe ability to use WOS is vital for your Independent) studies next year. I was told by colleagues that you had all been taught to use it -but apparently not. I strongly suggest that you get help from confident colleagues -or go to the library and get a subject librarian to help.
