 * Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants - Marc Prensky, 2001 **

** "If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow." ** //- [|John Dewey]//

=="Today's kids are 'Screenagers.' They have grown up with screens that can be manipulated, not passively watched. They were born in a world of digital technology. They are the digital natives, we are the digital immigrants (with the old world language still embedded in our brains). These kids' brains are different than ours. They are neurologically different than we are. They have hyperlinked minds." ==
