Critical reflection on article digital natives/digital immigrants.
Students find computing to be a boring and uninteresting subject due to the way it has been presented in the past. However with the latest digital generation constantly using video games as a source of entertainment computing is not such a boring idea if the correct approach is taken towards it.
Engineers in universities are now being taught using video games, this is enabling future engineers to stay interested with the subject rather than simply reading from a textbook. One thought that comes up is, it technology really that trustworthy that we should be teaching future generations solely on computers or should some of the traditional ideals in teaching still stay such as reading Dickens from a book. Should the traditional way of teaching die and allow the teaching of the future to lead the way. Not only this but what will happen to those people who are unable to afford a technology based education. Will they be unable to take part in university or many of the other studies that would rely on computers? It is these questions that are brought up when reading the article Digital natives and Digital immigrants. Question Are we stopping future generations from appreciating the past by completely ridding their education of the book?
There is always diversity in a group. This must be known and understood.
