CLOSING THE GAP
So how can people of these
two groups work together?
How can digital immigrant
educators teach digital
natives?
Digital immigrants invented the
microchip, the Internet, the
cellphone, text messaging, all
decades ago.
But the greatest users
are the natives.
Collaboration is
the key.
Learning from the natives
We may never become true digital natives, but we can and
must begin to assimilate to their culture and
way of thinking.
-Rupert Murdoch
Learning from the immigrants
Digital immigrants can teach natives to achieve
goals quickly. They can help the techno wizards
scale the learning and build what is possible. They
can look at the existing institutions and repurpose
them or rethink their vitality. For example, in an
adult course about scrapbooking, a native may be
able to offer great ideas for layouts, image, design
and labeling, while the immigrant would contribute
their knowledge about storytelling and the value of
including worthy artifacts. The real world value of
personalizing the memoir emerges.
• NEW
LITERACIES
New technologies have enabled us to generate and share
communication in encoded texts with others in varied cultural
contexts
WEB 1.0 WEB 2.0

such as Ofoto, Flickr

What are “encoded texts”?
texts that have been rendered in a form
that allows them to be retrieved, worked
with, and made available independently
of the person and the context of their
origins
ex: handwritten/typed alphanumeric symbols,
auto texts...

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF MEDIATION IN
LANGUAGE LEARNING?
Technology is a mediational tool that
enables learners to expand their oral
expression, acquire new language, learn
about cross-cultural perspectives, and
explore new content.
