Partnering with Digital Natives Institute
Teachers and students will be provided with opportunities to find ways to make ELA instruction more engaging and innovative using Marc Prensky’s concept of “Partnering with Our Digital Natives.”
His approach is to partner teachers and students in reflecting on curricula and instructional choices, with structured opportunities for students to give voice to what will engage them and their classmates.
Digital natives share a common global culture that is in part defined by
their experience growing up immersed in digital technology, and
the impact of this upon how they interact with information
technologies, information itself, one another, and other people and
institutions. From: Digital Natives, Berkman Center for Internet &
Society
