Website 3

The author of this website uses alot of examples when tryin to describe a digital native. He uses the example of a school child who multi-tasks at the computer while doing her homeowrk she also has 4 websites on the go including msn and a social networking site. He completed a survey of 2000 school children and found a 3rd multi tasked while completing homework e.g. talking on the phone, browsing the web, etc. In the article many sides of the "multi-tasking" theory are thought out, with the older generation (who could be seen as digital immigrants) providing argument that no one can multi-task and complete all tasks efficiently and effectively. He also mentions, surprisingly that many in the technological world think it is surprising that instant messaging isnt used in schools as it is used so much in the avergae workplace. Many believe it can introduce and stablilise new relationships and produce comfortable atmospheres which to work in.

He is also yet another author who goes on to quote Prensky to some degree. He believes his ideas and focuses greatly on the term "digital native". The author believes there is nothing wrong with children using technology to increase their learning ability especially as technology starts to become ever more prominant in today's society.
