Who are the "digital natives"? This is an extremely interesting and thought provoking presentation. Developmental psychologist Edith Ackerman studies "how people use place, relate to others and treat things to find their ways -- and voices -- in an ever-changing world." In this presentation she discusses the impact digital technology has had on childhood learning, especially on writing and reading. Her observations bring a new perspective and validity to to the digital world and web 2.0 in education.
The second speaker Marc Prensky addressed the need for educators to incoporate the changing technologies.
