Digital Native and Digital Immigrants

-
             What are Digital native and Digital Immigrants?
Digital native is those who are born with the knowledge of technologies and spent their time using computers, video games, cell phone etc. College students are considered to be the digital native.
Digital native is used to receiving information really fast.  People are born after the 1980s are considered digital natives.  Native speaks the digital language of computers.  They can do multi-task.

The digital immigrant is the peoples who are born without much knowledge of technologies, or who is not advanced in the technologies. But they learn at later point of their lives, become fascinated by and adopted the most aspect of the new technology. They speak an outdated language.  They believed that their students can't learn successfully while watching TV or listening to music because they can't.  

After exploring on digital native and digital immigrants I realized that I still fall in digital immigrants because I cant do multi-task and moreover, I really don't like using technologies much. I hope one day I will become a digital native person.

Microsoft Publisher is a graphic design application that is similar to Microsoft Word but differs in the fact that its emphasis lies more on page layout and design and less on word composition and formatting. Microsoft Publisher provides easy-to-use and less expensive publishing options for creating designs and logos for small business.   In Microsoft Publisher it has many options like a newsletter, calendar, business letters, brochures, postcards and many more. When we select any of the options we get different readymade templates. We can even create our own design and templates using options given. I think that it will help users to become more creative and it really saves time.

Flip Book

A Flipbook is an app with series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, the page is turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other features. We can add pictures, sound, theme, texts on the pictures, and upload power point in a flipbook. I found flipbook applicable in teaching and learning because we can use this idea to add visual aids in teaching to motivate students to learn. We can use Flipbook in preparing an interesting presentation, maintaining journals, portfolio etc. using animations, sound/ music, and themes. So, we can gain student's attention and keep them on the track. In Google search as Kvisoft FlipBook Maker Pro
