Digital Natives

There are also no
such things as
“digital natives.”

“For older learners our fear of
failure is sometimes so acute,
we don’t allow ourselves to fail
during any step of the process.
At least when it comes to
technology, younger learners
seem to have an ease about
failing early and often on their
path to mastery.”

Endless Possibilities
:
the more we
learn to
conform to the
available
choices, the more
predictable and
machine-like we
become
ourselves.

We train ourselves to stay between the
lines, like an image dragged onto a “snap-
to" grid: it never stays quite where we
put it, but jerks up and over to the
closest available place on the
predetermined map.

Friends and feeds we may have chosen
arbitrarily or because we were forced in the
past, soon become the markers through
which our programs and search engines
choose what to show us next.

Just-So_Stories
:
This just-so explanation is entirely
retrospective in character.
Looking back in time… it appears perfectly logical
that the free-spinning wheel would cause a change
from rope coiling to drawing up a pot, but how could
the person who first replaced his or her gourd with a
stone know what we know?

Perhaps the potter was puzzled, perhaps
exhilarated—which are more engaged states of
consciousness than “it had to happen just like this.”
Richard Sennett, The Craftsman, p. 122

It’s really easy to get in
the habit of seeing a new
shiny piece of technology and
just assume that we can
dump it into an educational
setting and !voila! miracles
will happen .

Yet, we also know that the
field of dreams is merely
that, a dream.

Dumping laptops into a classroom does no
good if a teacher doesn’t know how to
leverage the technology for educational
purposes. Building virtual worlds serves
no educational purpose without curricula
that connects a lesson plan with the
affordances of the technology.
