DIGITAL IMMIGRANTS

DIGITAL NATIVES

Digital natives

WERE BORN AND GROW UP WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY.

ARE NATIVE SPEAKERS OF THE DIGITAL LANGUAGE.

ARE USED TO RECEIVE INFORMATION REALLY FAST.

LIKE PARALLEL PROCESS AND MULTI TASK.PREFER RANDOM ACCESS. FUNCTION BEST

WHEN NETWORKED. PREFER GAMES.

Digital immigrants

WERE NOT BORN INTO THE DIGITAL WORLD BUT ADOPTED MANY ASPECTS OF THE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY.

ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE.

LEARNED ONE THING AT A TIME, INDIVIDUALLY, SERIOUSLY.

THINK LEARNING SHOULD NOT BE FUN.SPEAK AN OUTDATED LANGUAGE. RETAIN THEIR ACCENT .
