I think that this article is accurate in describing the role of technology in school today. Unfortunately for the Digital Immigrants, it is a reality that they would have to learn the language of the Digital Natives because it is highly unlikely that we, growing up with technology, will revert back to their learned style. Being a recent college graduate, I have been exposed to many different internet based programs like Moodle. I have used WebCT and Blackboard. I think that using these types of programs encourages students to do the assignment because they feel as though we are becoming more technologically advanced. This could be a great asset to any course!
First of all, excellent last name. It just oozes smartness. Your use of technology in the classroom is amazing, because I have never used WebCT. You are a hard working woman. Keep up the hard work.
Shovel that information...
Good points! I think using the technology to teach is a little easier for those of us that have been exposed to some of these programs in college.
