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.

Hey DK - we just discovered your blog the other day and love it!
This is a very good blog. I will introduce my students to it.
With appreciation,
Michael
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,
Cameron
