Topic 1

The first topic discussed in my technology class was about "Today's Students". We watched a video in class that portrayed how students today learn and what sort of things they are interested in. The video was quite informative and it also discussed how we as a nation are slipping behind other nation's as far as what we are teaching and how we are teaching. We also learned about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. A digital navite would be a child who has grown up with technology. A digital immigrant is one who did not grow up with technology and is learning to adapt to using it. A digital immigrant might say, "I am using my new digital camera", where a digital native might say, "I am using my new camera".
