DIGITAL NATIVES
Marc
Prensky´s thoughts must be considered too. ‘Teachers of 21st century
are in charge of preparing children for an uncertained future’. It is impossible to know what is going to
happen in the future but we can have an idea if we think about how people live
in the 21st century. During the last fifteen years people have
became digital natives and they are
living a different type of life if we compare it to the adult’s childhood. Our
opinion about videogames usually has a bad connotation and this is because we
do not really like them, play with them and because the publicity the games
have received is usually not positive. Videogames have a challenge in terms of
use. The balance between use and abuse is the real fight, because it is thought
that the benefits are low. From my experience I am able to say that when I give
new technology assignments not only the majority of students do them, many do
them several times, as compared to when I assign homework they have to do in
the notebook, and there are pupils who will not complete the work.
