DIGITAL NATIVES (PRENSKY, 2001) Demand immediate and parallel
processing of information’ Multi tasking of activities Visuals as the mode of communication Hyperlinks and random access to
textual information Instant recognition and reward Education perceived as fun rather than
work
DIGITAL NATIVES (TAPSCOTT,2009) Want freedom in everything they do,
from freedom of choice to freedom of expression
Love to personalize, customize and are the new scrutinizers
Want entertainment and play in their work, education and social life
They are the collaboration and relationship generation
They have a need for speed, not only in video games
DIGITAL NATIVE LEARNERS Our students are born DIGITAL (Palfrey
and Gasser, 2008) and have “grown up DIGITAL (Tapscott, 2009)
DIGITAL NATIVE LEARNERS They are the first generation of digital
natives that live much of their lives On-Line
DIGITAL NATIVE LEARNERS They learn differently from the way their
parents or grand-parents did when they were growing up
DIGITAL NATIVE LEARNERS Research is more likely to be a Google
(Search) and/or a Wikipedia exploration rather than a trip to brick and Mortar library (Palfrey and Gasser, 2008)
SERIOUS MISALIGNMENT??? Valid question“does education need to cater
fully to the learning styles of digital natives, or should the digital natives learn the habits of formal structures and culture of education that has been successfully constructed by the digital immigrants
BRIDGE THE CULTURE DIVIDE ??? Can we design the learning
environments which will engage learners that construct knowledge, learn in communities and make sense of reality ???
LEARNING THROUGH TEACHING MACHINES Digital technology alters the things
people think about, think with and the domain in which thoughts develop
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) are- Transforming Teaching and Learning Pedagogy; Impacting on the entire Education Delivery and Support Processes
On-line learning is marked by “juxtaposition of new technology and old pedagogy”
MACHINES TO LEARN WITH NOT FROM Students learn when they exploit technology
as cognitive tools while leveraging on machines for information access and data storage, and computation and retrieval purposes.
New media platforms-Wikipedia, Blackboard, Sakai, YouTube, Facebook; the mind tools of MS Office, Prezi and the virtual world of Second Life are additional scaffolds that stimulate human cognition to make sense of reality.
Thinking with teaching machines brings about a qualitative shift in the mental activity of students because it provides a dynamic scaffold for influencing and activating the thought processes.
BLENDED LEARNING Integrating online with traditional face-to-face class
activities in a planned, pedagogically valuable manner.
Blended learning uses online technology to not just supplement, but transform and improve the learning process.
CONSTRUCTIVIST PEDAGOGY Independent and reflective learners with the
confidence and skills to apply appropriate teaching and learning strategies to construct knowledge, shared meanings, and understanding.

SOCIAL INTERACTION TO CONSTRUCT SHARED MEANINGS AND UNDERSTANDING INVOLVING LEARNERS IN COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICES
