I am excited by the possiblities of providing more meaningful engagement for kids in their learning. Understanding the difference between digital natives and digital immigrants is, I think, and significant and vital piece of info for teachers to use rather than our assumption of there being something quite wrong with the kids..My fears are that I can't keep up to it and on a larger scale that I won't be able to help teachers understand that we must respect this kid cultre as critical to their success rather than continue to beat kids ovedr the head with methodologies they can't relate to and then blame them for it.
