I don't really disagree with this article as it backs up what i have been saying about generations and age not been a meaningful social category which i agree with. I agree with the author that not all young people are 'born digital' like only been able to learn through videos, sounds and pictures rather than picking up a book. I think although we have been born into a society which is advanced in technology it isn't something we should always rely on.
Like the author i agree that in every class there is a handful of people that have amazing skills with technology and some people that can not stand computers and mobile phones etc or they just can't afford them so can't familiarise themselves with them. This doesn't depend on age or what generation you were born in. I think it is mainly the fact that we use it if it works for us and we can afford it if not they we don't tend to use it therefor don't become expert in using it and don't rely on it.

Helen,
Good...I think that by having to analyse these 5 websites, it's been a useful way to show students the type of techniques they need to apply to written assignments...ie, do research....and find points that differ and support your own argument.
All the best
Emma
