Digital Native?

I believe I am a digital native.  I’ve been learning from a computer since I was seven years old. I’ve grown up around TV’s, video games, and the internet. I have a laptop, nook, and an iPod touch. When I need to find news I can click an app for 6ABC and have all of my information right in the palm of my hand.  I created a myspace account when I was fourteen, a facebook at seventeen, a twitter at twenty-one and an instagram account at twenty-two.  Everything I do is related to technology.  When I go to read a book I no longer carry around a hard copy; I pull out my nook.  I find it odd to have to hand type a paper and not type it and send it through an email.  When my professors don’t use blackboard or smart boards in the classroom I feel like they are digital immigrants.  They don’t want to learn the new approaches to teaching, and feel we should step back and learn their old ways. “Often from the Natives‟ point of view their Digital Immigrant instructors make their education not worth paying attention to compared to everything else they experience.”  I like professors who have adapted to the “new language” and understand we don’t care for boring lectures.  We prefer games, and having immediate feedback.
