Are today’s students fundamentally different than those of 5, 10 or
15 years ago? How will the classroom you teach in be different in 20
years? Since I assume you can predict the future as well as I, this
assignment will help us explore the present and future of education.
Additionally it will be our first introduction to you in this
class.
Some background…
A digital native is a person who has grown up with digital technology
such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3. A digital
immigrant is an individual who grew up without digital technology and
adopted it later. A digital native might refer to their new "camera"; a
digital immigrant might refer to their new "digital camera".
Your group will be randomly assigned to present at the beginning of class on either week 2, 3, or 4.
