In the classroom, I related a lot more to my teacher as a digital immigrant than a digital native. It was only in school that I used a computer and at home it was good ol' paper and pencil. My dad was a digital immigrant so at home we did not use computers. I hated when I saw the words "typed" on assignments because that meant I had to find someway to get to a computer.
Now, I am somewhat in between. I like using the computer in terms of research and communicating. But I still love the paperback books and being able to take notes on my paper journal. In education, I think the video games could work, and we do need to adapt to how the students are learning. I know as an education major, there is a class just for that reason called EDLT (Educational Learning Tools) which helps future educators to incorporate technology in the classrooms. Although, I do want my students to have fun in their learning, I want them to enjoy learning itself, not just the video game. So, I hope there can be a healthy balance.
