Slide Show Digital Natives
- 1. Teaching Digital Natives What are digital natives and how do they learn? Today's students are digital natives because they have been surrounded by many forms of t from an early age. The exposure to and use of all these new technologies has affected the way that they learn.
- 2. Technology is your friend! Digital natives view technology as their friend, a way to enrich the activities they enjoy. Digital immigrants, who are not accustomed to using technology in these ways, may fear using new technology. This is a major difference in the way teachers and their students see this new world.
- 3. Use of graphics Contemporary learners are so used to being bombarded by colorful graphics on TV and video games, that they have come to see plain text as just a way to help understand the graphic, and not the other way around!
- 4. Looking for a payoff? Today's learners are captivated for hours at a time by video and computer games because they get constant feedback and “payoffs” for paying attention. This idea needs to be incorporated into a classroom setting somehow to hold their attention.
