"Digital Native"

Image
 I think the "digital native" label can certainly apply to members of younger generations who grew up with a lot of technology exposure. however, I don't think you can label an entire generation as native because there are always outliers whos' parents limited their access as kids so now they are less adept than others. I defiantly have noticed a difference between my tech skills versus my teachers (in 8th grade I was somehow designated as "the one to fix the smartboard" even though "fixing" it was turning it off and on again). Since I plan on becoming a teacher for young children, I anticipate limiting how much I use computers in teaching to focus more on in person socialization skills.

I do like the more informal vibe of blogs though. I like being able to write in shorter stints rather that long essays. I also liked learning about all to the things you can link to a blog, like twitter accounts and license information.     When I do become a teacher, if I need students to watch videos for class, I would use Youtube kids to ensure i don't accidently present inappropriate information.
