The author of this review, Nelson (2012), gives a complete description
of the book “Deconstructing Digital Natives” recently edited by Thomas (2011) with
the collaboration of several well-recognized authors. He thoroughly examines the book section by
section and chapter by chapter. Nelson attempts to describe how the topic of digital
native contraposed to digital immigrant is developed throughout the book.
Digital native seems to be a metaphor that exaggerates the gap between adults
and young people who are immersed in their world highly defined by digital
technologies. He also evaluates the
volume presenting his criticism. Nevertheless, he finally states this
should be an interesting book to be read by scholars and teachers as it makes
honour to its title and goes beyond metaphors and assumptions about youth,
digital technologies and education.
