I just read an article written by Prensky (2001) about digital natives and digital immigrants. Prensky (2001) believes that new technologies and media have positively changed the cognitive thinking pattern of today’s students whom he describes as digital natives. Prensky also points out that teachers, “digital immigrant” educators, need to be aware of the digital culture of those students. He suggests that today’s teachers have to change their traditional approaches which, although they worked yesterday, may not work today, in order to adapt the languages and styles of those digital native students.
