      Paragraph 9: "...our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language...are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language."

      Paragraph 11 (examples Digital Natives): 1. receive information really fast 2. parallel process and multi-task 3. prefer graphics before text 4. random access (hypertext) 5. function best networked 6. thrive on instant gratification and reward 7. prefer games than serious work

      Paragraph 14: "[Digital Natives] are used to the instantaneity of hypertext, downloaded music, phones in their pockets, a library on their laptops, beamed messages and instant messaging. They've been networked most or all of their lives. They have little patience for lectures, step-by-step logic, and "tell-test" instruction."

      Paragraph 15: "Digital Immigrant instructors make their education not worth paying attention to compared to everything else they experience - and then they blame them for not paying attention!"
