How early it can be?

My son, who is 4 years old, can speak Korean but I can't read it. I feel like I need to find a way to learn Korean in the fun way. The most recommended way is to use the internet game, like this one. momy is sick

I have no doubt that he can learn it through the game very well. The game definitely will be the motivation for him to learn Korean and he will have fun with it.

But my fear is what will be the next. Seeing my nephews and nieces, once they learned how to do the game (they learn really fast, though!),they would not stop. They constantly want more... more hours, more entertaining games and seeking more sophisticated ones etc...And as a digital natives, they learn new things very fast speed, so fast that you can not follow them.

Am I making digital natives into digital immigrants by not introducing these toys including games? When will be the appropriate time to introduce the games(whether it is internet based or not)to digital natives?

Telecollaboration---Did you know?

What is the 'telecoloaboration' exactly? We can guess from the "name", but am I the only one that doesn't know the definition of it? might be....:>
So I googled it, and ... the one of the University of Virginia website gave me one.

The organized use of Web resources and collaboration tools for curriculum appropriate purposes is called telecollaboration. Judi Harris defines telecollaboration as "an educational endeavor that involves people in different locations using Internet tools and resources to work together. Much educational telecollaboration is curriculum-based, teacher-designed, and teacher-coordinated. Most use e-mail to help participants communicate with each other. Many telecollaborative activities and projects have Web sites to support them." (click)

And the scope of telecollaboration was beyond my thought. It is not mealy an extra-curricular activities, it is "those in which technology use enables activities that would not have been possible without it, and those that empower students to become active, collaborative, creative, integrative, and evaluative learners"

Would you explore the good examples of telecollaboration?

This is sponsored by the European Commission and National Board of Education, ENO creates a global school environment with over 100 schools from over 50 countries participating in a year long program that is actually part of their curriculum.

Too old to be a Digital Native?!

I don't know why, but I have hard time to jump in "new tech", including this blog~
Is that because I'm not a digital native? or too old to be the one of them??
Do you think digital native can be nurture?
Well, at least, I want to prove myself that digital native can be "MADE" through this class!
