On Digital Natives, Immigrants, Residents and Visitors - and implementing technology? | Brains Dave White wrote about his Digital Resident/Visitor model on the TALL blog back in 2008 ( and it has been well received. I have recently been thinking about the Digital Native/Immigrant idea of Prensky again, and finding a lot of the criticism of it to be focussed on a particular point, and somewhat lacking in critical reasoning, so I thought it about time I went back and looked at Dave White's model too. It is established in the opening paragraph that Prensky's work is not seen as being useful because it "does not help guide the implementation of technologies it simply provides the excuse that “some people ‘just don’t get it’ which is why your new approach has failed so badly…”".

It has nothing to do with generational divides. If we were to re-categorize the foolish Prensky and Tapscott terms of Net Generation, Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants into a classification that encompasses all ages and takes into account the realities of access and participation levels, we might use the following: The definitions presuppose we have consensus that learning can (and perhaps does) occur with the aid of technology mediums but regardless of age.
