About
The Digital Natives project is a collaboration between the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and the Research Center for Information Law at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Digital natives, a term made popular by Marc Prensky, are young people whose use of technology is completely ingrained in their lives -they have grown up always-on and constantly-connected. Unlike those even a little bit older, these Digital Natives didn’t have to learn to “be digital,” they learned in digital the first time around.
The project’s goal is to better understand young people’s experiences with digital media, including Internet, cell phones and related technologies. By gaining insight into how digital natives make sense of their interactions in this digital landscape, we may address the issues their practices raise, learn how to harness the opportunities their digital fluency presents, and shape our regulatory and educational frameworks in a way that advances the public interest.

On page three of the Instructional Technology Survey the year listed is 2008 when, I believe, it should be 2007.
Otherwise, an excellent report.
Best,

Hello there – wish I’d have known that you were writing a book about “Born Digital”. I wrote something in my blog that you may have found useful (????). I called my article “A is for Amazon”, about how kids (particularly my own) are growing up with the language of the Web and how we need to encourage that. The article was picked up by E-Learning Magazine in the USA and published in their Spring edition. Please have a look at the original blog post here:

By the way – I’m an e-learning developer/trainer in a post-16 college in the UK, and part-time e-musician.

Hi Digital Natives Team,
My name is Scott and I’m one of the founders at Yonkly. http://yonkly.com (The first “Create your own” microblog to integrate with Twitter). We’re a small, dedicated, bootstrapped team
I just wanted to inform you that we’ve launched live beta this week.
Kindly let us know what we can do to become featured on Digital Natives. We’re open to any interviews, or special stories that you need.
We’ve also have a press release available
Best,
