Ian Jukes "Understanding digital children" Teaching & Learning in the New Digital Landscape" looks at the difference between digital kids and teachers and the impact that this has on teaching and learning.

Ian summarises the differences between Native Learners (screenagers) and Teachers. We know that experience, like using a computer, will change the structure of our brain, This is a concept called **Nueroplasticity**. We also know that, the more intense the experience, the more profound the change. Our students, who often have a greater exposure to technology, are likely to be more nuerologically adapted, but adults can as easily be "Digital Natives".
