Digital Natives

This is a cute video but it has a pretty serious message. Does the internet bring with it a new kind of citizenship? How is it different from citizenship of the past?

Primary school students all asking the same thing of their teachers: "Engage me by using the technology I use everyday to teach me in the classroom."

As a side note, it looks like their school is not too far behind on the digital front: the school has its own youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/RobinHoodSchool?gl=GB&hl=en-GB

A great video that shows the extent to which students today are digital natives.

Good find, Sharon. I think this really adds to the metaphor that digital natives are "native speakers" of technology. Much like native speakers of a language can use complex grammar without thinking about it or knowing the labels that linguists place on it, digital natives are easily using complex technology oblivious to all the research the "digital immigrants" are doing to try to understand it.
