"I come from the Batman era, adding items to my utility belt while students today are the Borg from Star Trek, assimilating technology into their lives." It isn't about Nativism, it is about exposure and competence. David has been using his 'Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts' blog as the hub of his personal learning environment for two years now, charting his use of Web2.0 tools with his students along the way. His blog profile describes him as, "A husband, a parent... An educator, a student... A thinker, a dreamer... An agent of change." He obviously has a few paradigms to work from!
So if I were to make the post title into a statement it would be: Rather than a Digital Native/Digital Immigrant dichotomy, students have a wide spectrum of digital competence positively correlating to their digital exposure.
