Week 8 Abstract 4 and 5

Abstract 4

The text discusses two clear lines of argument, the first being how teachers as 'digital immigrants' struggle with the new media in schools, this very similar to Prensly's articles, discussed in previous blogs. The article also suggests how teachers are struggling to find and educations system which is tailored well enough to meet this new generations needs.

The second line of argument is how the 'digital natives' as young people as well as students are far more committed to their online accounts such as Facebook rather than their manual school work.


Abstract 5

This article deals with the issues surrounding young people and how they use new media and the difference of their digital world to do with education. It also highlights the generation gap and how education may be effected because of this.
