4. Digital Native Learners (Ignite) Prefer receiving information quickly from multiple multimedia sources. Prefer parallel processing and multitasking. Prefer processing pictures, sounds and video before text. Prefer random access to hyperlinked multimedia information. Prefer to interact/network simultaneously with many others. Prefer to learn “just-in-time.” Prefer instant gratification and instant rewards. Prefer learning that is relevant, instantly useful and fun. Digital Immigrant Teachers Prefer slow and controlled release of information from limited sources. Prefer singular processing and single or limited tasking. Prefer to provide text before pictures, sounds and video. Prefer to provide information linearly, logically and sequentially. Prefer students to work independently rather than network and interact. Prefer to teach “just-in-case” (it’s on the exam). Prefer deferred gratification and deferred rewards. Prefer to teach to the curriculum guide and standardized tests. *Ian Jukes and Anita Dosaj, The InfoSavvy Group, February 2003
