Week 9 Blog B+C
b) and c) The youngest digital immigrant I know is probably myself I’m rubbish when it comes to technology as everything seems to break down on me such as my laptop. I love music but hate downloading music because it seems to take ages, I'm not the person that a teacher should "learn about technology" ( Stewart, 2008)from even though I was born into the digital era. Although I love social networking sites such as face book, I hate online banking hence why I don’t do it I don’t trust it because I know that it will be my account that gets hacked into. I used to think I knew all about computer games until I met my sisters nephews who are younger than nine and can complete a xbox game within a day.

So, the nine year olds would seem to be what Prensky has in mind? Would they be well served by their education all being delivered via games do you think? (Incidentally, Prensky was a games designer and manufacturer before he hit upon the notion of 'natives' -who'd have guessed eh?)
