Website 5

My final website is a blog and again is fairly up-to-date. Written in December 2007, the author has written an opinionated blog on his discomfort with the use of these phases digital immigrant and digital native. The blog explores where these phases came from.
The author does make reference to important theorist (Prensky) on this subject, however the article is more a copy/paste of a number of theorists work rather than his own.
However he does make some good points on how these terms help us “to recognize and respect the new kinds of learning and cultural expression” which have emerged from a the new generations of today.
The author is fairly negative towards these distinctions and feels of we continue to use them we are hindering ourselves by not being able to talk “meaningfully about the kinds of sharing that occurs between adults and children and we won't be able to imagine other ways that adults can interact with youth outside of these cultural divides.”

Overall an ok source but not particularly useful if your looking to find fact about the this topic, however useful in terms of finding differing attitudes to the terms.
