Digital Natives

We think that the ENA students are the real digital natives. When consulting the results of a survey made in ENA and in CEM on technology, we found out that in Longueuil, 2.6% of the students are not comfortable with electronics devices compared to none in ENA. Also, three quarters of the students in ENA use computer for both entertainment and work while only three out of five students in CEM does. In CEM, when students watch or listen news report, near half of them assume the story is true without even wondering if maybe it was only the journalist’s point of view. People in ENA have developed a critical eye over the information presented to them. On the other hand, inexperienced users of technology, like most CEM students, can be unaware of the unreliability of the information found in the media. Even though we are in a school environment, one out of three CEM students uses the computer for entertainment. All of this proves that ENA student are real digital natives
