Digital Natives, Immigrants, Wisdom...


Check out a blog from Dr Robert Sylvester. He always does a great job of making things understandable - and applicable. A recent post on his blog is discussing Prensky's concept from 2001 (Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants) and a recent update in 2009 (digital wisdom).

Things HAVE really changed. Prensky/Sylvester do a nice job of acknowledging the need to learn from each other, the native AND the immigrant... the need to live in the electronic AND in the physical world. The electronic is not going to go away (it will likely become more ubiquitous), but neither is our physical body going away and the need to relate to people around us.
