This article doesn’t look specifically into a counter argument for Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants but does highlight some elements within areas of new technology enabling users of the internet, including both teachers and students to just the internet more conveniently. The developments of society, and this article gives elements for “teacher to consider their possible used in the classroom.” One of these is being demonstrated now, i.e. blogs. Also, identified are elements such a produserage, i.e. Wiki’s “Web-publishing tools.” However, as discussed in previous weeks, there is the question of validity of these elements.
