Digital Immigrants/Native Blog Assignment

I don't really prefer the terms digital imigrant or digital native. Those terms seem lacking in scope, in my opinion. My perception of digital natives and digital immigrants is that students are proficient in the digital language because they have grown up with it. Many teachers are fluent in academic language and have had to immigrate to digital language later in life. I don't think one of these languages is superior to the other; rather I think both have value and a place in education. I think we are all stronger if we are all bilingual.
