Educational Technologies for K-12 Learners: What Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants Can Teach One Another
Riegel, Caitlin; Mete, Rosina
Educational Planning, v24 n4 p49-58 2017
As technology continues to evolve, the gap between those who have grown up with technology (digital natives) and those who have not (digital immigrants) continues to widen. This gap is very present in the K-12 classroom, where both digital natives (students) and digital immigrants (teachers) work together. This gap highlights a stigma associated with each group; digital natives are comfortable with technology and digital immigrants are not. However, just as digital natives can teach digital immigrants a lot in terms of using, navigating, and harnessing the efficiency of technology, digital immigrants can offer digital natives a lot in terms of learning to use, troubleshooting, and operating without technology.
