The digital world is not just limited to leisure however. Technology is essential to jobs due to establishing communication between colleagues at a professional level.]]> 2018-05-04 13:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jayvoltage/xb0v9b6amyzq/wish/258023711 jayvoltage https://padlet.com/jayvoltage/xb0v9b6amyzq/wish/258048673 This generation or the millennials that have grown with the internet and technology have appropriately been labelled as the 'digital natives'.  As a digital native, they should be fully adapted to a digital world as they’ve grown up watching the rapid development of technology however, this is only with their daily lives.  In an educational context, researchers claim that students are worse at using technology to help with the studies, in comparison to the degree in which they use technology for entertainment (Howell, 2012).

But they must use it as technology is a large part of their jobs. Therefore, educators can be considered as 'digital immigrants', which Prensky explained they were users who have attempted in utilising technology but have not yet embraced it fully and thus, their skills appear to be limited (Howell, 2012).
