Open Educational Digital Natives and Digital
Immigrants Teaching the Net Generation:
• Ultimately, the message is a simple one, whether an Educator is
born prior to ’64 or after, will find little classroom success if they
remain in the avoider, reluctant adopter, minimalist or tourist
categories. There is now great clarity that educators must be at
the minimum in the enthusiastic adopter category if they are to
successfully teach the digital generation.
• In fact, we would contend that the best teachers moving forward
will need to take their technology to an even higher level. To be
successful, they will need to move in to the innovator category.
