Digital native vs digital immigration
Digital native are those who are born in the world of
digital. These people are advanced in using digital tools. people who are much
familiar in using computers, videogames and digital music players, cell phones
or wireless phones and other digital tools.“Digital native are native speakers
of technology, fluent in the digital language of computers, video games and the
internet”. “Digital natives,” “net geners,” “netizens,” “homo zappiens,” or
something else, it is clear that the members of the first generation to grow up
surrounded by digital media (those now aged eleven to thirty-one) are different
from the “digital immigrants” who learned to “do technology” later in
life.Digital immigrants are people who are born without knowledge of
technologies. They are unaware of digital use until they get exposed to or
learn technologies later in life. Many of the instructors are considered as
digital immigrants as incorporated in later life.
The concept on information tool
Informative tools are applicants which provide vast
repositories of information / content to learners' activity. The computer can
provide vast amounts of information through various information tools which are
text, graphics, sound, image, animation and video.
- Text
Text are the characters that can be used to create letters,
words, sentences and paragraphs and it can be alphanumeric. Using text we can
convey information as it can be referred over a time.
2.
Image
Picture can be also used as an information tool as picture
speaks thousand and louder than the words.
3.
Sound /Audio
Sound and audio like music, speech, dialogues or any other
sound can also be used as an information tool as one speaks and the other
listens. Only providing pictures and text seems useless without explanation
(sound/ narration).
4.
Video
Video refers to displaying images and text on a computer
monitor and since videos can be compromises of text, sound and image it seems
to act as an effective information tool.
5.
Animation
Animation refers to graphics that create illusion and
motion. Information tools like animation are interesting and informative too.
6.
Graphics
Graphics are said to be the combination of text, sound ,
animation, video, image and etc which is more meaning full information tool and
effective too.
