I was preparing for my workshop today in Las Vegas when I ran across this photo from Cheryl Oakes Flickr stream.  It evidently comes from the recent WOW2 podcast gathering and using iChat’s Multi-way conference feature.  I have just one question.  Would your students be impressed with this?  Would they find it to be native?

I woke up thinking about Prensky’s digital natives and digital immigrants descriptions (link to pdf).  If you’ve been reading 2¢ Worth, you know that I’m not a great lover of the simplicity of this distinction, though I do appreciate its value.  But I woke up thinking about it, and comparing it to other contexts.  I did a little research this morning, but will have to hold off on exploring this further, until I have some more time.  On the Road.  Not much time!
