Website Five (with URL)

http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/clearinghouse/AdvisingIssues/Digital-Natives.htm

I found this article really interesting as it contrasts to the several different pages I have looked at. Rather than discussing why Prensky is wrong, this page focuses on supporting his ideas, saying that there is a digital divide. The site is mainly based on Prensky, and quotes him throughout. I couldnt find a publication date for it, but it seems up-to-date and fairly recent. Although this particular page only deals with Prenskys view point, it does a great job in descriptivley analysing his ideas and refers to many things to back it up (native lingo, games consoles, email etc). I think this works well as it doesnt just simply re-tell Prenskys ideas, it incorporates other things into to make you understand it and put the ideas into actual use and real life
