I found Lee Raine’s article (http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/digitalnatives/index.htm) thought provoking, for example regarding how different he finds the millenium generation to their parents in their use of technology. I (along with other members of my generation) find these tools useful, but we did not grow up with them. For many of us the internet is the first port of call, but the millenennium generation use these tools far more extensively and widely. I think this is the major difference which has an effect on how they think. As they grow up with convenient communication devices, it is easy to see how a new tribalism is formed. This together with multi-tasking is chewing up any time students have for self reflection.
