Week 8: Website criticism 2

This website discusses in year 2003 that individuals of certain ages really are digital natives or immigrants and whether it is down to age.

Prenskys idea which is to teach at a digital native standard is discussed by this author of how this could be right from personal experience. That being as he has taught students technological computer based topics, for e.g. refined searches it was apparent they werent able to do this putting them in the bracket of digital immigrant even though Prensky reckons students are the digital natives.
It also discusses that it isnt all young students who know everything to do with technology, as for some children still dont have computers in their household.
This was written in 2003 this however may of changed since then. But other factors were that not all children are sitting in front of computers or televisions as todays society is obsessesed with healthy lving which may counteract the usage of such things.
As we may of gathered reading Prenskys article, not everyone is the same even though he thinks so, therefore it is hard to stereotype each students as a technological native.
