Editor's Notes
- Thoughts and suggestions from the audience!
- Children growing up during the advent of the World Wide Web (Internet) who have grown accustomed to utilization of digital technologies such as cell phones, text messaging, video games, and instant messaging. The millennial generation is different from previous generations particularly because of their utilization of information communication technology (ICT). Being comfortable with technology this generation is the beneficiary of unlimited and immediate access to all forms of information with a simple click or tap (Considine, Horton, & Moorman,2009).
- The defining characteristic of Generation Millennial is that they are the first generation to be completely immersed in Information Communication Technology (ICT) their entire lives. Computers and the Internet have become a major resource and a pivotal part in our homes and schools today.
- Digital immigrants have become proficient users of technology, but their use of it is significantly different from digital-natives. Digital immigrants prefer to use email for online communication while digital natives prefer the synchronous form of instant messaging. With mobile phones, digital immigrants favor speaking to people whereas digital natives prefer texting. Digital natives also tend to share differently. Blogging is increasingly gaining currency for both immigrants and natives but, once again, for different reasons.
- Its important to note that a technology based classroom is not about the devices that are used, it's about access and how they are used. There is no doubt that this idea is embedded in every school's mission statement.
