Previously I mentioned that my own computing students don’t appear to fit the profile Prensky gives us of the ‘digital native’. At least they all knew about IM’s, so I’m confident that they are all computer users already (well, almost all anyway). On the other hand, the digital divide is still with us. I know this is certainly the case in Glasgow – but also in the US. Another Educause Review article has more:
“… digital divides should continue to be a concern for academic, student life, and IT professionals and leaders on campus. Even in the increasingly electronic world of classes and campus activities, neither individual access nor digital literacy should be assumed. “
