Children view and use the technology in their lives very differently that we adults who did not grow up with these new technologies. This book is a must read about digital natives for those of us who are digital immigrants. This collection of readings from various experts gives insights as to how children use, in particular, mobile technologies that have become part of many children's every day lives. We've adapted and learned how to use mobile technology; many children are growing up digital as a normal part of living. Too often when children step into the classroom, they step back in time when it comes to the use of technology they use every day outside the classroom. Too often, adults have eliminated a powerful learning tool in the lives of children and students. Allison Druin is an expert in involving children, at the grass root levels, as serious collaborative design partners with expert adults in designing of technology hardware, software, and their use by children for children. And, in this book she and other authors have something important to say. Read and reflect.
