Digital Immigrant or Digital Native

I am a digital immigrant. I am not a native! Everything I do takes me longer than my children, I work at conventional speed in a linear fashion. I have a very, very strong accent, since I do not use "text language" on purpose. But I have been very active in learning about technology and digital media. I attended RIC as an undergraduate and have a minor in computer science. I was the first member of my family to own my own computer. Although, I started out strong in using technology my brothers have surpassed me with the amount of digital media they use on a daily bases. I tend to use my digital media for school such as PBS-media, Easiteach, TI-Navigator, Twitter, Emondo, Padlet, Facebook , Engrade etc. Like I said most media literacy I use has to do with school..so here is a video I might use in my class:

  1. I love how you say you work at "conventional speed and in a linear fashion"! You just described me as well! My kids are 31, 28 and 22 and I have two grandbabies on the way. I can't wait to see what the little guys (they are both boys) will be able to do in this digital world!
