Classrooms of the Digital Age - Digital Native

After reading and watching the videos for the week, I have discovered that I am, in fact, a digital native.  I had my first computer when I was in the 5th grade.  Since then, I've spent anywhere from 1-5 hours on the computer everyday.  The video we watched with all of the college students talking about their classes - that was me just 3 years ago.  I remember feeling that the books I bought were a waste of money, since I rarely read them.  I completely agree with all of the articles and videos that talk about the importance of teambuilding and communication as a lesson to our digitally native students.  I think that the biggest favor we can do for our students it to prepare them for their futures.  In order to do that, we have to really understand what things we need to prepare our students for, based on what the companies and colleges are needing and looking for.  This makes complete sense to me, because I feel that even students my age were given a disservice by focusing on knowledge and information, and not on the skills we need in the workplace.
