Reading issue 4 :- The different kind of digital
When it comes to learning, Digital immigrants are logical learners who prefer slow and controlled information from limited sources. As learners, they tend to focus on one task at a time, and so they interact with one person at a time. When Digital Immigrants look for information on the web they go for traditional new sites such as, Wikipedia. In comparison, Digital Natives are intuitive learners- since they were born during or after the digital age; the time when the personal computer was introduced which provided the ability to transfer information freely and quickly. Digital natives are always attached to their phones and they can multitask while surrounded by social events, which makes their approach as learners quite different from Digital Immigrants. As Teachers, Digital Immigrants prefer to teach as per the curriculum and guidelines for a standardized test. Thus, the information provided in a logical and sequential manner, where they prioritize text before imagery and sound. They also prefer when their students work individually instead of in teams. In contrast, Digital Natives tend to be more networked teachers. Their approach at giving out information prioritizes imagery and motion and, so it is more active and engaging. They prefer when their students interact and network; producing work as part of teams. Reference :- 1-Digital Natives vs Digital Immigrants. (2013, October 24).
