Website 5
Website 5 directly references Website 4 as a point of interest. The website outlines how the article in Website 4 was effective and gave a general overview of the author’s feelings. Website 5 then attempts to analyse what happened in the previous article from an academic perspective “The all-powerful tools of technology are an enormous help to the writer, but as a digital immigrant she has already developed baseline skills in three distinct and critical aptitudes, the areas of concentration, contemplation and knowledge construction.”
The website then goes on to suggest solutions to the problems that digital immigration poses. The premise is once again around education, and the way that technology should be incorporated. “Those who work with children must find a way to incorporate technology into a lesson structure that helps students learn what technology cannot teach them”. I have struggled, in past posts, to believe that children don’t need the interaction of teachers and are able to learn from a machine just as well, this website complies: “Technology cannot teach them to reflect upon and evaluate the information they are gathering online. For that, the role of teachers and parents remains fundamentally important.”
The website is clear and easy to read, yet insightful into the world of digital immigration offering information and advice to the reader. The site is a child site from a much larger and well recognised website. This, and the astute musings of the content allow the reader to put trust in both the article and the arguments put forward.
