Prompt #3

Review the Pew Research Center’s research findings on “Generation Next” and “Internet and American Life,” in Chapter 2 of Technology Applications for the Digital Classroom.  Discuss how you will approach teaching students who are all digital natives and have spent their entire lives growing up online

I think it will be fairly easy to approach teaching students who are "digital natives" because in essence I am a digital native myself. My parents did not grow up having computers in their middle schools. Since students are becoming more and more familiar with technology and using it in a classroom setting, I will be sure to incorporate it into my lessons to make sure I stay credible and interesting to the students. I will use Bloom's taxonomy and start off with something relatable that they can grasp with the assitance of technology and work my way up the pyramid. . I understand how technology works because I grew up using technology and also used things in class such as smart-boards. I actually prefer for a classroom setting to be structured around technology because it is a great way for the students to be engaged in the lesson being taught.
