Digital Natives/Digital Immigrants

• Digital natives are the children of today, they have grown up knowing how to use computers, ipods and video games. (People who grew up using digital media)
• Digital immigrants are the people who are not as used to using the technology, these are the previous generations. (People who did NOT grow up using digital media)
• Digital immigrants do not generally understand how digital natives learn, they are not used to learning through the use of computers, television and games, they are used to using books and repition to learn their traditional subjects.
• Todays curriculumn does not cater for digital natives, they get bored easily, as digital immigrants are generally not skilled at teaching digital natives.
