Do you think that there is really a different between digital natives and digital immigrants? If so, how must teaching change?
I believe that there is a difference between digital natives and digital immigrants. Although there are exceptions to this rule, in general people from more recent generations have a greater affinity with technology, as they have grown up using these tools. This is why often there is conflict between generations in the household when children use the internet or gaming consoles.
If there is a class in which there is great variance in age groups, it would be better to offer a greater spectrum of teaching techniques to ensure maximum benefit to all students. Perhaps the actual teaching in class would not need to change to great extent, as even now there is not too great a dependence to technology which is being used in the classroom. In this way the teaching of both sets of students would reach full effectiveness.
