I was preparing for my workshop today in Las Vegas when I ran across this photo from Cheryl Oakes Flickr stream. It evidently comes from the recent WOW2 podcast gathering and using iChat’s Multi-way conference feature. I have just one question. Would your students be impressed with this? Would they find it to be native?
I woke up thinking about Prensky’s digital natives and digital immigrants descriptions (link to pdf). If you’ve been reading 2¢ Worth, you know that I’m not a great lover of the simplicity of this distinction, though I do appreciate its value. But I woke up thinking about it, and comparing it to other contexts. I did a little research this morning, but will have to hold off on exploring this further, until I have some more time. On the Road. Not much time!

Grins, it wasn’t from a WOW2 show — we are just having some fun figuring out how to make our teaser for the K12 online conference. Took us about 1/2 hour to get iChat to work with all of us….sort of humbling and soft of hilarious!!
As for my students, I showed it to them at about 8:30 this morning and by 9 o’clock they were flying with the program. Not bored, but already pros.
