Digital native and immigrant

During the discussion today, I used the terms "serve" and "educate." Then I thought about this article that I read in other class. It's discussing that children nowadays grow up with higher digital exposure than their teachers did, and thus have different thinking pattern from the teachers. The author was arguing why computer-aided instrument/games should be developed to help children learning, and how to design.

I think this one is interesting because I first thought it's funny that the teachers will need to "please" children to help them better learn. But later I thought, why not? If that can really make children learn better.

Maybe Journalism is facing more or less similar challenge? Should we adjust for the digital natives? And ... how?

Oops, here is the article link.
