When I first read the title “Are you a digital native?” many thoughts ran through my mind. I thought that I defiantly was a digital native. After reading the article I was unsure if I still agree with my initial response. Technology has always been a part of my schooling but was never that important.
When reading about digital immigrants I agree with that part a lot. I am still learning new forms of technology daily, including recently getting the iphone! My parents were total digital immigrants who did not use technology, with my mom still today not that great.
As a digital native, this is where I fall into place. I grew up learning many different skills from reading to math using computer games. There then was a game called Mavis Beacon that was to teach how to type and different strategies.
When it comes to me personally, I believe I am placed in the middle. Growing up I used a computer and various forms of technology. At the same time, the children I babysit can work the iphone and ipad better than me. There are different times that I believe that I am a digital immigrant and a digital narrative.
