Digital Natives: A Stand Alone Presentation

I used the assigned text to pull important points out in order to give a visual representation of Digital Natives. My presentation answers the following questions:  What is a Digital Native, Who falls under this label, and What characteristics define a Digital Native. The main point that I hope others gain from my presentation is that we should not assume that all young people are considered Digital Natives because there are various factors, such as access to technology, that effect their interests and abilities when it comes to technology.  This is so important for educators to realize because we have a responsibility to our students to help them become twenty-first century learners, and this means we must implement new technologies that they may need to know how to use in their futures. By us doing this, we will ultimately help them become more successful.

  1. Jessie your presentation was good, You added descriptions to your awesome images which gave me explanations. I think though we were only suppose to use no more than five words with your slide. I really thought you explained what a digital native is really well the same with the slide about the digital immigrant. Your image of the typewriter was a really great metaphor.
