Digital natives vs. digital immigrants (Prensky, 2001)“Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast. Theylike to parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their graphicsbefore their text rather than the opposite. They prefer randomaccess (like hypertext). They function best when networked. Theythrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards. They prefergames to ›serious‹ work.” (Prensky in Schulmeister, 2008, p. 20) “It’s very serious, because the single biggest problem facing education today is that our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language (that of the predigital´age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language.” (Prensky in Schulmeister, 2008, p. 20)
