My Thoughts• I absolutely agree with Marc Prensky.– Reasons:• I see Digital Natives everyday in my classroom.

– My students cannot retain knowledge through lecture.– They learn more through videos and student-made

presentations.– They show me how to use my computer.

• I see Digital Immigrants everyday in the Teacher’s Lounge. – Teachers complain that students just do not learn like they

use to.– Teacher would rather show transparencies then use a laptop

with a Smartboard

Instructional Technology in the Classroom

• Technology in the classroom can:– Make learning fun!– Keep the students’ attention.– Makes teaching easier.– Allows students to create their own

learning.– Allows for more instructional

differentiation.

Implications of this Information

• For Me:– Create lessons more appropriate for the students.– Understand “where” they are coming from.– Further my knowledge about instructional

technology.

• For Students:– More opportunities for learning. – More understanding from teachers.– Expansion of the technological intelligence.

Final Thoughts

• As I read these articles I kept shaking my head in agreement.

• These articles explain the things I see in my school in both the classroom and the Teachers’ Lounge.

• I believe this gives me confidence in what I a doing to further these kids education because now I know that what I am doing is making a difference.
