Today´s students are not longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.

Digital technology Big discontinuity
Singularity
Radical changes

Digital Inmigrants
People who were not born into the digital world, but who are fascinated by it and who have adopted some /
most aspects the new technology.

A distinction their “accent”
They always retain their “digital inmigrant accent” because they are learning a new language later in life which goes into a different part of
the brain.

the second place• Read the manual for a

Problem in educaction
Digital immigrant instructors, who speak the outdated language of the pre- digital age, are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely ew language.

Digital Natives Think and process information differently from their predecessors
Their thinking patterns ( and probably their brains ) have changed

Digital Natives
- Receive information really fast- Prefer graphics before texts- Function best when networked- Prefer games to “serious” work- Have little patience for lectures, step-by-step logic- Have a library on their laptops- Used to the instantaneity of hypertext- Use instant messaging

Digital Inmigrants:
tend to have little appreciation for these new skills.

To confront this issue:
It is necessary to reconsider
Methodology and Content In learning
![Page 14: Digital Natives vs Digital immigrants](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5486d299b4af9f76628b4974/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Methodology
Today´s teachers have to learn to communicate in the language and style of their students
![Page 15: Digital Natives vs Digital immigrants](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5486d299b4af9f76628b4974/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Content Two kinds “Legacy” content
“Future” content
![Page 16: Digital Natives vs Digital immigrants](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5486d299b4af9f76628b4974/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“Legacy” content
The “traditional” curriculum: reading, writing, arithmetic, logical thinking
![Page 17: Digital Natives vs Digital immigrants](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5486d299b4af9f76628b4974/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Future” content = Digital / technological contentSoftware, hardware, robotics, genomics,
etc PLUS
ethics, politics, sociology, languages, etc
![Page 18: Digital Natives vs Digital immigrants](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5486d299b4af9f76628b4974/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The result:
“learning new stuff”
and
“learning new ways to do with old
stuff”

Effortisneeded
Adapt materials to the language of Digital Natives
Invent Digital Native methodologies for all subjects, at all levels
