Website criticism three

This site is a blog dedicated to analysing the work of Marc Prensky, who seems to be the King Kong of the Digital Immigration/Native jungle. The author of the site gives a very insightful view of both concepts, and focuses on the differences in generations. There is a focus on students, and the changes in culture and how this has affected ‘us’. Students are categorised as “native speakers of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet.” This is obvious in a sense, but also very true. The site is dated on the 5th December 2007, which, as with the previous site, means it is very up to date and relevant. It is very readable, as it is well written and laid out in a format which breaks each point down. There is also a section at the bottom for people and other users to write their own comments and respond to the article.
The only part of this site I am not impressed with is the fact the author uses Prensky’s work too much. He uses Prensky’s theory well and writes his own opinion on it at times, but this could be done more. As it is a blog, it should be more structured than it is. But the way each point is broken down, analysed and put into perspective makes the site very comprehendible.
