Digital Native

I am most certainly a digital native. Reading the article that mentions waking up and checking ims made me think of how many mornings i have done the exact same thing. I am sitting here on my computer with two internet browsers open and each has three tabs. I have been to two different old freinds one on facebook and one on aim getting caught up on life at the same time that i read about my generation is basically the first to be able to multi task with technology. I think about it and multi tasking is by no means new but that tasks we are doing are very different. My dad can do almost anything i can with a computer but he can only do one thing at a time and still yells at me when i open more than one browser on his computer because he worries it will slow it down (like it did back when we had a computer with almost no memory compared to todays). The article made me laugh out loud (or lol to a digital native) when it talked about calling someone into your office to see a cool website my dad does this all the time. My mom who is a digital native always yells at him and tells him to just send her the link.
The article about using technology in school and the panel discutions really made me think even though i am a digital native i don't really know how i will be able to make my class interesting enough or use enough technology to satisfy students of today. I feel like the teachers have somewhat of a point when they say school is boring. Sometimes there is no way to get information to a kid other than here it is take some notes and kids today hate that so much its almost impossible. I want to be a teacher that uses technology and has a fun class but sometimes i wonder where the line between fun and getting the information they need is drawn?
