digital immigrants

      Over the past decade or two a term has been generated and  passed around the educational field.  Teachers are noting their students can run computers, and all computer "things" at a very young age and seem to live, eat, and breathe technology.  The teachers themselves may feel at a loss, or even stupid, by comparison.   Thus,  a belief has been growing and it is that the children entering and passing through our schools now are technological superiors and the educators inferior.     Also, many educators assume that education must be reformed to suit the current generation's penchant for all things digital.
