Week 1-Digital Natives

Digital Natives----This term I was completely enamored with and I found it an interesting way to associate the younger generation with technology.  I also appreciated the association made from the readings that not all youngsters understand the new medium at a mastery level.  I also enjoyed how the Henry Jenkins article addressed the difference between digital immigrants and digital natives, giving renewed hope to those folks who are foreign to the means of utilizing so many new forms of technology.  He also addresses that educators must stay up with technology or risk not educating at a maximized rate of return.  The avoidance of technology in education at times has hindered the advancement of learning he contends.
