East Asian education systems, then compare those systems to the education system here in the United States. When doing so, people tend to come to the same general conclusion: there are intensifying problems within the American education system. Marc Prensky, the author of “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants,” argues that the real issue with educating today’s youth is that our education system’s design does not accommodate today’s students since they are not the same as the students who molded our

descriptively covers the ins and outs of the term “digital natives” and how this generation is being affected by technology. In this essay, I will converse between the work of Boyd on her opinion and research on digital natives and compare it to Marc Prensky, author of Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants as mentioned in her text, and author Alexandra Samuel of Forget “digital natives.” Here’s how kids are really using the internet. The term “digital native” refers to people born in the digital era

Did you know they are people spend over 10,000 hours playing videogames, over 200,000 emails and Instant messages sent and received, over 10,000 hours talking on digital cell phones (Marc Prensky,2001)? These kinds of people call them digital native. The world is become transformation from digital immigrant to digital native, however this is good transformation actually because that become a benefit for the world more technology and most of people become intelligent, also they are become proficient

In today’s day and age, it is common knowledge that students possess different learning styles than those of generations before them. In the essays by Marc Prensky “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” (2001) and “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants Part II: Do They Really Think Differently?” (2001) the author clearly argues a need to adapt to students modern learning styles.

In my poster, I used an image of old lady from Swongled Media (2008) to represent the concept of digital immigrants. Prensky (2001a, p. 8 ), in his first article “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants”, describes this term as those older generations “who were not born into the digital world”. After years of living in “pre-digital lifestyles” (Selwyn, 2009, p. 369 ), the digital

Digital Immigrants" by Marc Presky, appears in the book On the Horizon. The article asserts that due to the the anacrusis of the digital age, this generation has changed dramatically, thus, it is no longer possible to reach them through obsolete teaching methods, as it comes close to teaching them in a foreign language. In order to solve this issue, Presky suggests that we need to update our methodology in order to fit today’s needs better. In the beginning of the article, Prensky implies that student

With technology in the palm of our hands, why should we sit down and listen to boring reporters talk about an uninteresting topic that would not impact one’s life?

as “digital natives” who have gained specific technical skills and are fundamentally different from the older generations in the way of thinking and processing information, thus they require a new educational approach (Prensky, 2001). To engage with the younger generations, Prensky (2001) suggests that educators, who are considered as digital immigrants, should change their teaching methodology and content. As the development of information technology in the 21st century has significantly increased

Originally used by Marc Prensky in 2001, “digital natives” is a term used to identify the generation for whom technology is an integral part of everyday life (Prensky, 2001). In order to have an understanding of what a digital native is, we need to examine several aspects of the subject: where the term originated, what qualifies someone to be part of the digital generation, and how digital natives use media. Other academics have referred to the same group with terms such as the net generation or
