Reflections Over Article.

"The Net Generation as Preservice Teachers: Transferring Familiarity with New Technologies to Educational Environments" is the title of the article I got. The main idea of this article is talking about preservice (haven't started in a classroom yet) teachers and the importance of technology in the classroom. A interesting quote form the article says that "digital natives have been defined as people who are born after 1984 who have grown up with digital technologies, are at ease with new technologies, and expect the new technologies in their education."  I think this is very true for some people, for example my grandma was a teacher for many many years and when the school started using their emails for everything she had a harder time with it. This article was pretty much about how preservice teachers already have knowledge of different technological outlets and if they would use them in the classroom.
