A long time ago Mark Prensky named Digital Natives
”now we are all co-creating in Net connectedness"

The Digital Natives went to college
& used their digital curiosity creatively

5 Imagination to develop future learning plans
Using technology in helping learners to develop management of their own journey, to account for their learning and plan future learning. Improving the tutorial process, making learning more relevant to the needs of each individual learner
6 Desire to account for personal and purposeful effectiveness
Using technology to develop the skills of reflective thinking. Capturing ideas and themes to inform teacher learning journeys through personal learning space. Developing professional accountability
