major difference between Natives and Immigrants is the way we

Another
major difference between Immigrants and Natives is a sense of
identity (DigitalNative.org, 2007). To Digital Immigrants, cell phones, emails, and the Internet are
just tools that can be used to reach someone or set up a “real”
face-to-face meeting. Natives look at the same technologies and

communication is just as real to Natives as face-to-face meetings
are to Immigrants.

Immigrants consider education as the process that forces as much
information into students’ heads as possible so they can regurgitate
a laundry list of facts at a moment’s notice. Natives donotconsider this an education.
Immigrants should be
willing to teach Natives how to find important information and
put less emphasis on forcing the students to learn exact information.
