White, D. (2009) Native/Immigrant vs Resident/Visitor

You should be aware that Prensky's Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants has been the subject of much debate. Perhaps White's model is a response to that.

What about the students we will teach in the next few years? This next article may give us a hint.
Stone, B. (2010) The Children of Cyberspace: Old Fogies by Their 20s

If you respond better to music, you might appreaciate this video from Kevin Honeycutt.
Honeycutt, K. (2010) I Need My Teachers to Learn (Youtube video 3 min). Unfortunately the link that was here before did not work. Hopefully this one will continue to work.

Finally an article especially for administrators and other decision makers, but relevant to us all.
