One requirement for my Walden University course – Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work, and Society – is to create a podcast profiling the students of today. Podcasting is a new technology that I am participating in and plan to use in my classroom for the upcoming school year.
According to Prensky (2001), digital natives are children born in the technological age. “These students are native speakers of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet” (Prensky, 2001). Persons who acquire the digital language are referred to as digital immigrants. For this pod cast, I interviewed three (3) students from the high school to obtain their views on the use of technology in and out of school.
At the end of the survey with these students I realized that more need to be done in the school to better equip and train students for the 21st century.
