Week 8-Website one

This website was fairly up to date as the article was written in 2001, the article was based on research carried out by a academic of both Yale and Harvard.

The website is designed for both digital natives and digital immigrants, as the site is simple to understand, easy to navigate around and easy to use, this again shows that it is used by natives and immigrants.

Links to all the other areas of the website are at the top of the page, situated in a brightly coloured, eye catching box, this draws your attention to them. The links themselves are direct and simple to understand and navigate around, this shows that Prensky does practice what he preaches!

The usability of this site is not a problem for users because it seems that most areas have been catered for both natives and immigrants.

I think the website is up to date because at the bottom of  most of the pages it says 2008 this shows the last time the page was up dated, it also shows the the website is reviewed and checked fairly often. There is also a personal blog which gives a insight into his work, the last blog post was Feb 2009 and in this post he posts his new work for fellow bloggers to read and comment on.

Many of the issues discussed on the website are current concerns to do with education and keeping it up to date with technology. Maybe one day we will all learn online and will not have to attend classes...who knows?!
