    The kids born after 1980 are often thought of as Digital Natives but age doesn't always matter as the generation is defined on: access to digital technologies, age, and have the skills to use the skills ~Key Characteristics of Digital Natives~

Born Digital - Understanding the first generation of digital natives - 5 views

  •  
    The first generation of "Digital Natives" - children who were born into and raised in the digital world - are coming of age, and soon our world will be reshaped in their image. Our economy, our politics, our culture and even the shape of our family life will be forever transformed. But who are these Digital Natives?

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • "It is how they perceive [the web] that makes them different in my opinion," he explains. "Many older people use the web, of course, but for digital natives the web is an integral part of their lives. They go there first, instinctively. And yes, some are better at it than others. I definitely agree that there is a continuum of capabilities among the digital natives. But if we are talking about what makes them different from previous generations, I believe it is this connection to the web."

      If the difference is in whether or not they go to the web 'instinctively' then I think this guy just disproved his own point. MOST of us to to the web instinctively.'
  • She says this group of learners is more globally aware, thanks to the internet, and more adept at collaborative uses of the web.

      And this definition has NOTHING to do with age.
  • "This generation definitely has a thematic approach to learning," she says, "which is not about, 'I'm a vessel--go ahead and fill me up.' It's about, 'I'm the master of my own educational destiny. Give me lots of input and I'll find what I think is most important.' Most of the [K-12] schools I talk to still believe that they are the custodians of knowledge. But for these kids, increasingly, [schools] are just one more source of input."

      I LOVE this discussion. What do you think?
    • Michelle Krill
       
      I think this is true. The educator has to teach the students how to know which information is important and how to make connections between what they know and what they are learning.

  • While Prensky's original definition might not survive close scrutiny a decade later--too generationally focused and without enough attention on how students use their devices--he was definitely on to something.

  • "If you're in higher education and you're developing a strategic plan or making investment decisions based on conversations you're having with the students currently in your classrooms--or even high school students--you're talking to the wrong audience," she warns. "You really need to be talking to third-graders. The high school kid applying to your school today is just not as 'native' as the kids further down the pike."

      Excellent point, would you agree?

  • The problem with Prensky's assumption is that it's based on age--on the idea that, because you were born in a certain era, you must be a certain way
    • anonymous
       
      Amen to THAT!! :)
  • Another flaw in the eyes of some educators is the fact that Prensky labels everyone else as "digital immigrants," unable to achieve true fluency in the new tech world
    • anonymous
       
      Unable to achieve true fluency. BUNK! How many coaches did we have over the age of 50? (Who would admit it, that is.) :)

  • "I don't think the term was ever valid, or even very useful," she says. "It assumes that older people are worse than younger people when it comes to technology. And it seems to assume that all young people are homogenous when it comes to technology use. Neither of those things is correct."
    • anonymous
       
      What do you think of this? If you agree, did the original terms serve their purpose - in 2001?
  • "My work has shown over the years that there are, in fact, significant differences among people of the same age when it comes to the skill with which they use digital media--and that age is not necessarily a determinant of skill,"

      I think you coaches display a LOT more of the characteristics of a Digital Native than many of your students. Agree? Disagree?

YouTube + Tin Can = Amazing - Tin Can API - 2 views

    "There's a lot that you can do with Tin Can and video on many platforms, not just YouTube. We chose YouTube because, well, it's popular, but we've done more than just work with YouTube videos. Brian worked with one of our clients to generate Tin Can statements from their Brightcove videos, and also from videos on their native mobile apps (iOS and Android), even when the mobile devices aren't connected to a network."

XMeeting - Powerful Videoconferencing Solutions for Mac OS X - 0 views

  •  
    For mac users.
  •  
    XMeeting is a SIP and H.323 compliant and Open Source videoconferencing client for Mac OS X (10.4 and later). The current version of XMeeting is 0.3.4. Historically, XMeeting has evolved from ohphoneX. However, XMeeting has been rewritten from scratch and uses a totally different software architecture than ohphoneX. Although not yet being a 1.xx release, XMeeting is quite stable, has good interoperability with other clients and provides many unique features such as the sophisticated Address Book integration. Much effort has been put into the Mac OS X native GUI. We think the result is worth it!

  • Nevertheless, Hargittai's study concluded that socioeconomic status is one of the most important predictors of how effectively people incorporate the web into their everyday lives.

      No surprise here, is it?
  • They're digital dependent and digital stimulated. They know how to text messages and upload a video to YouTube, but in general they don't possess the deeper critical thinking skills they need to be truly digitally literate."

      I like the terms digital dependent and digital stimulated. What do you think?

    • anonymous
       
      I wonder if this is largely because it's so easy to search the web to find an answer to a fill-in-the-blank question that they frequently see?
  • Certainly, there is no clinical evidence to back up any claims about physical changes in the brains of today's traditional-age students. But educators are providing anecdotal evidence of a shift in how students approach learning and education in general.
