Digital Natives Digital Immigrants

In my opinion, digital natives should learn some of the content the old way and digital immigrants should teach some of their curriculum the new way. Both teachers and students should be connecting half way and finding a middle ground. I see the benefit of both and think that a combination would benefit all students. As I think about it, I realized that there’s a benefit for all students to learn in a digital, current method. However, I also see the value of learning the “traditional” way. Students need to be able to develop skills such as being able to focus on something that’s not constantly flashing at them.
