Hi Guys-- Just a note – Feel free to move this to a more appropriate location but it has been a thorn in my side as I really feel the need for more “appropriate” terminology --- --I think it would be revolutionary if we could collectively explore new terminology to distance ourselves from the "digital native" "digital immigrant" jargon. Regardless of the trend swing (first to adopt those terms and then later to rebuke their use) I feel there has to be a way that we can connect new language that will address their original intent in terms that are more respectful of the differences in generational aptitude without denigrating either position.
