Digital Learning

This week's information was fairly interesting when read as individual articles.  When combined, however, the concepts discussed were much more potent and immediately applicable to education.  I really liked the idea of not just catering to Digital Natives' desires and habits (such as networked learning and instant gratification) but instead combining both "legacy" and "future" approaches to learning and education.  I also really appreciated the fact that Ms. Driscoll didn't say that technology is always good and must be embraced, but urged teachers to use technology in context and explore the positive effects that the new and changing times can afford the educational system.

  1. There's a lot of value in thinking about your stance on the digital natives vs. immigrants issue. It's something that you'll face as an educator as you try to find innovative ways to teach music, hopefully with technological resources as supplements.
