It communicates just how interconnected and reliant the real world is on digital devices and programs, and establishes a context for related terms such as ‘digital citizenship’, digital natives’ and, importantly for education, ‘digital pedagogies’. ]]> 2018-05-07 08:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mishka0817/what_is_a_digital_world/wish/258430017 mishka0817 https://padlet.com/mishka0817/what_is_a_digital_world/wish/258431835 In addition, all primary and secondary students are so-called ‘digital natives’ who are used to instant gratification, rapid transfer and receival of information, and thrive in activities that require being networked. Students are becoming decreasingly reliant on written texts to understand and evaluate information, preferring graphics and audio.
