Digital Natives

Sounds as though the Seattle school district "gets it." According to an editorial in the September, 2007, issue of District Administrator, Seattle Public Schools are launching an in-district social networking service called Medley. As Lindell Anderson, one of the lead developers for the project wrote, "Incorporating Web 2.0 for education isn't 'sugar to help the medicine go down,' it's speaking the native language and honoring the digital world-view of a technologically fluent generation." http://www.districtadministration.com/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=1270
