Prensky, Part 1

Digital Native or Digital Immigrant?  Which one am I?  I believe that I fit into the digital native category.  According to Marc Prensky, digital natives like to receive their information fast, they like to multi-task and parallel process, and they would rather see a picture before seeing the text. (p.2).  This fits me to a tee.  I would rather get all the information from a professor at a fast pace instead of having a lecture that drags on.  It is easier for me to understand something if I parallel process it and multi task as I am learning it.  When I open a page to a textbook the first thing I look at is the picture to get a preview about what I am going to read.  Also I would be considered a digital native because of all the technology that I have been brought up around.  In my daily life I use laptops, desktops, cell phones, radios, TVs, and sometimes even gaming systems to entertain myself when I am bored.  It is easy to say that I am a Digital Native.
