You will recall that earlier in the semester we discussed this topic. Marc Prensky coined these terms in 2001. It's not only about one's comfort level with technology. Indeed, the difference between digital natives and immigrants is as fundamental as how we think. Reread Prensky's article, available in the Week 1 Brightspace folder for this course. In it he discusses how in the early 2000's an online game threw a "money wrench" into teaching fundamentals of CAD (Computer Assisted Drafting).
- What are your thoughts on using gaming as an educational tool?
- What are some software apps you think are useful for learning. Discuss.
- And for further thought, check out Prensky's website. I would like your feedback on the tools and techniques he is bringing to education, particularly whether you see yourself as someone who might have interest in working and developing media in this environment.
There are no wrong answers other than a non-response to this final question.
