Digital Natives
Digital Immigrants
Analogues
Think... the Internet was introduced into schools around 1995.
In 2008, 18 year olds starting their studies in university will be the first never to have known a time in their education when they did not have the Internet. These are the true ‘digital natives’.
The gap is widening...
....from this.
To this....
What has actually changed?
The answer is in the room...

Some final
thoughts....
Rhizomatic Learning““A rhizomatic plant has no
centre and no defined boundary; rather, it is made up of a number of semi-independent nodes, each of which is capable of growing and spreading on its own, bounded only by the limits of its habitat.”

Rhizomatic Learning
““In the rhizomatic view, knowledge can only be negotiated, [and is] a personal knowledge-creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.”

Web 2.0: the Social Web
“The social web is transforming the way people use the Internet to do business, access information and connect with each other. It has revolutionised the way we are entertained, and altered forever the way we learn”.
