A digital native is someone born during or after the advent of digital technology who has grown up surrounded by digital devices and the internet. Digital natives are comfortable with technologies like MTV, video games, email, the web, instant messaging, cell phones, and mp3 players. To close the gap between digital natives and immigrants, teachers should use hands-on equipment, create technology-based lessons, and let students teach each other. Key skills for digital natives in a global society include creativity, communication, research, critical thinking, digital citizenship, and understanding technology.
