Digital NativesDigital Natives What happens to people born before the 21st
century? Are they digital immigrants?
You judge it!
Digital NativesDigital NativesIs everyone born in 21st century a
“digital native”?
No, because…
Not all children and young adults are comfortable with technology
Not all the “digital immigrants” have an awkwardness with technology
Environment: children who are not in contact with technology won’t be digital natives
Nobody is "born digital" as nobody is born literate
If, as teachers, we are dealing with digital natives, how can we engage our students?
