Digital Natives
September 27, 2006
I have three children, ages 21, 19 and yes, six so I am the parent of very different technological children! I see the "digital native" mentality in my 19 year old, but not in my 21 year old and have to say that the older child seems to use higher level thinking more often and always has.
In reading the assigned article: http://www.techlearning.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=170701917, I agree with those believing that it is impossible for shildren to focus in a deep meaningful learning while doing more than one thing at a time.
However, I find myself guilty of the same multi-tasking and expect and demand instant information to be available at all times.
