  • Dinkins (2008) pointed to similar evidence and stressed that many students believe that “face time with instructors and class time with other students [is] critical to their success in college.”

  Very interesting analysis of digital skills and educational implications

  • What is overlooked is the simplicity of these labels and their inability to address the complexity of the students who enter the physical and the digital classroom.
  • there are numerous claims about the technological capabilities of these students. However, some scholars argue that the empirical evidence to support them is lacking
  • 16 more annotations...
  • • tech–savviness is more about exposure to technology than being affiliated with a particular generation
    • a significant proportion of students had lower level skills than might be expected of digital natives.
    • students come to the classroom with different needs and experiences.
    • students reported that they preferred moderate technology use in their courses.
    • many students believe that “face time with instructors and class time with other students [is] critical to their success in college.”
    • Students in his study reported that the key to their academic success is faculty who are committed to teaching.
    • there are signs that some students are not acquiring skills that will prepare them adequately for life beyond the classroom.
    • employers complain that they lack basic and applied skills that are essential to job success, such as reading comprehension, written communication, and critical thinking
    • Because the tech–savvy stereotypes associated with today’s students appear to be based on misconceptions, educators need to rethink teaching and learning for the digital age
    • Overall, the goal is not simply to acquire knowledge, but rather to be able to use it outside the classroom setting
    • Educators are beginning to investigate ways to teach information literacy, visual literacy, new media literacy, information fluency, and information competence skills to this new group of students
    • educators must work to ensure that students gain these skills
    • as Wesch (2009) stated, educational changes should be about the social spirit enabled by new technologies — collaboration, interaction, and participation — not the technologies themselves.
    • digital wisdom transcends generational boundaries
    • learning comes from informal social interactions between learners and their mentors, not from interactions with technology alone.
    • Instead of segregating individuals based on their skills or lack thereof, the digital melting pot is a place where all individuals, including those with low levels of competency, experience technology in a way that fosters opportunities without barriers.
