I do not consider myself a digital native, however I do think I have become pretty fluent in this second language of technology. At the same time, I recognize I have a lot more to learn. My family had a typewriter when I was in elementary school, then a word processor when I was in middle school and a desktop computer when I was in high school. I got my first lap top when I went to college. I have always felt like I am playing the catch up game with technology because the district I grew up in did not do a lot with technology. When I went to college I felt very far behind. In hindsight, having to learn each of these new tools helped me to build my confidence with learning new types of technology tools and is a reason I tend not to shy away from it now.
