My 19-month-old nephew Josiah is DEFINITELY a digital native. He knows that he can call me from his mommy's phone just by finding my picture, that the phone also stores all things Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and that it is fun to play on the 'puter (as he says). My sister took this photo and texted it to me just before Facebooking it to her wall. Amazing.... and all the while my mission is to inform teachers about using technology in the classroom. This picture is certainly worth a thousand words. How can we as educators engage students that come home to all this technology? What are you doing in your room to challenge the natives?
