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!

  1. Quite many people have similar idea as you including me, I think.
    I also hope to be a little bit more closer to a digital native through this class~~ ^^

  2. Hi, Hee Seung~
    I don't think we "MADE" digital natives during this class, but it arouses our awareness of the role of technology in language teaching, and is also a good access to grasp some technology skills even if we haven't grown up with technology. For example, I have learned that Google Doc., like what we and Amy did during the class, is really an awesome and practical tool. The technology itself is not difficult, but we need to be introduced to the technology. Uing technology in language teaching does not mean that the teacher is supposed to be professional at technology and all computer thing, but he/she needs to know how to use the technology wisely, no matter now basic the technology is.
