We’re Surrounded by Natives!
Going into the jungle…
Digital natives.
And I am hacking my way through the cyberspace jungle to get them. Intimidated? You bet! That jungle is thick and dark and seems to grow by the gigabyte hourly. Compelled! You bet!
Why? Those natives have been born into this jungle. They can make their way around. I may never fully speak their language but I am compelled to join, to converse, to learn to co-habit part of their space. I have some wisdom, some insight to offer- that they might actually learn from and through this jungle – that we might conquer new thickets together.
So, won’t you join me? Grab your machete (or mac, or iPhone perhaps) and let’s meet them. In the “jungle”, together, as twenty-first century learners.
Want a mangatar (that’s the cartoon that “looks” like me)? Go to http://faceyourmanga.com/ Have fun!
Survey
Will you please take five minutes to take this survey on how we can better meet your needs?
Mahalo!
