David Jones' blog: interesting post on the digitally (il)literate

David Jones maintains a great blog: The Weblog of (a) David Jones. Today, his post is called Many of our students are neither digital natives nor digitally literate. For those who have not yet encountered Marc Prensky, Jones is referencing a widely-circulated paper entitled Digital natives, digital immigrants. I think Prensky is wrong, and we would be better off reading the late, great Neil Postman, but that's a discussion for another day. Today, Jones has some useful observations for those venturing into the online teaching world.
