    Digital Natives

    Digital Immigrants
    Reporter : Sheila Grace B. Gerona
    • The term digital native has become
    something of a buzzword in the
    education sector over the past decade.
    This was popularized by Prensky
    (2001) in reference to the generation
    that was born during the information
    age (as opposed to digital immigrants-
    the generation prior that acquired
    familiarity with digital systems only as
    adults) and who has not known a
    world without computers, the Internet,
    and connectivity.
    • Despite the fact that Prensky’s original paper
    was not an academic one and had no empirical
    evidence to support its claims, Educators and
    parents alike latched onto the term, spawning
    a school of thought wherein the decline of
    modern education is explained by educators’
    lack of understanding of how digital natives
    learn and make decisions.
    Digitally Literate
    • Is popularly defined as the ability
    to use computers or use the
    internet.

    • Our expanded views of the term


    ‘’literate’’ allow us to see that
    while the digital natives in our
    classroom are most certainly
    familiar with digital systems.
    Another problem concerning digital
    natives;

    • The misconception that everyone belonging to


    the generation is on more or less equal footing
    in regard to digital literacy.

    • “It is nonetheless mistaken, as no one is truly


    “born digital.” Instead, the determining factor
    is access to education and experience”.
    Challenges of Digital
    Literacy Education
    • Brown 2017 noted that despite the
    global acknowledgement that
    Digital Literacy is a need,there is as
    of yet no overarching model or
    framework for addressing all of the
    skills deemed necessary.
    Concepts and Principles of Media Literacy namely; critical thinking
    and the grounding of critical thought in a moral framework.

    • Teaching media literacy and digital literacy integrally.

    Teaching of the fundamental principles of these and other literacies


    should be done integratively with other subjects.

    • Master your subject matter.

    Whatever it is you teach, you must not only possess a


    thorough understanding of your subject matter, you must also
    understand why you are teaching it.
    • Think “multi-disciplinary”

    Once communication is accepted as important,this opens-up new venues where


    the new literacies can be exercised.

    ° Explore motivations,not just messages.

    .When we consume media, it’s important to not just focus on the message being
    conveyed but also understand the motivations behind it. By asking ourselves why a
    certain message is being communicated in the first place, we can gain a deeper
    understanding of the intentions and objectives of the person or entity behind it.

    ° Leverage skills that students already have.

    A person can do when they are personally and affectively motivated to do so.
    Thank you for listening!
