I definitely consider myself to be a "digital immigrant."Digital Immigrant cannot become a digital native
according to some who argue this point. I work really hard and make a conscious effort towards integrating technology into my daily life to access information more efficiently. This work of integration unlike a "digital native" is not effortless and ingrained as I was not born with technology in hand. In the process of this integration, my hesitation towards technology exhibits my accent. The initial uncomfortable feeling I get when I have to learn something new. For instance, I have yet to be technology savvy to create a google classroom account. This may be my next professional growth goal so I can integrate technology meaningfully with my students. Although I have welcomed blended learning with the use of Lexia, and Dreambox, I do so with hesitation as we're asked to assign individual assignments based on student need, which should be monitored. It feels like more work! So I step into the digital age (information is at your finger tips) where my conventional speed of teaching and learning is not engaging enough to my twitch speed learners.
