Q1: Based just on the label "Digital Immigrant", what skills would you imagine such a person having with electronics?

I imagine a "digital immigrant" would not have grown up with consumer electronics and computers in their lives since birth. So, the digital immigrant might be less likely to use and less skilled in the use of consumer electronics such as Ipods, video and computer games,digital cameras,  comupters, use of web sites, VCR's DVD's. A digital immigrant is less likely to frequently use the internet and less likely to have the prerequisite computer skills for blogging, on-line banking, collecting music for mp3 players, email, digital picture taking, gaming, shopping, etc.  I know older people who do not have a credit  or debit card, use the internet or even pump their own gas.  

Q2: Based solely on the label "Digital Native", what skills would you imagine such a person having with electronics?

I imagine the person grew up with electronics or computers since their birth.  They have developed the skills over their entire life to figure out electronics of many types.  My daughters have never been without a computer in their household. 

Q3: Describe how the formal education of a "Digital Immigrant" might differ from a "Digital Native."

Digital natives are more likely to a have received some part of their education on-line or via electronic device, whether it is a computer program to learn math skills or taking a cousre through Florida Virtual Schools. Many digital immigrants might not have had anything more than a "scantron" grading system for their tests, if that. 

Q4: Describe how you think a 19-year-old college Freshman would prefer to receive their course materials.

I believe  freshman would like to receive some of their course materials Via WebCT or another course management system or the internet.

Q5: Describe how you think a 19-year-old college Freshman would prefer to collaborate on a group project in a course versus a 60-year-old retiree.

Last year, I was in a college course which utilized a course management system with both younger people and older people. The age of the person did not seem to be the factor as to how they wanted to collaborate.  Those that were not native English speakers definately wanted to collaborate face to face. Those that were too busy working full time or really didn't want to collaborate did not want to meet F2F.  Those that didn't want to collaborate wanted either do NO work or tried to run the project like a general. The 60 year old retiree could really want to use the computer or course management system to collaborate so they didn't have to be on location, I believe it depends upon the person's experience and personal preference.  

Q6: Describe how you think a college professor would prefer to generate and present lessons to 19-year-old college freshmen.

Funny you should ask this! (Yes, humor is a little bit more difficult online, but you can stil show your personality online!)  I am a college professor who loves to have course materials, course email, course assessments, resource links and discussion boards in a course managemment system. While it take times to put the materials on-line, you can can offer much more flexibility to the students and yourself. The students have much more flexibility when it comes to taking quizzes, especially for vocational courses or skill based classes. Also, I don't have offer make-up exams, the quizzes can be available for as long as I want.  I can offer practice tests that the students can utilize without consequences. The best thing for me, the professor, is that I don't have to individually grade ALL of the quizzes and or I can gave some short answer quizzes which grade themselves!! I love the course management for vocationl skill building evercises! You can have questions with pictures, matching, fill in the blanks, short answers and essay questions.  The course management system has a grade book which in the newer software releases is very flexible and helpful.  I love not having to hand calculate grades (of course, I can do it in Excel,too, but in course management system the students can see the grades whenever they want. I can generate emails for students and they love being individually addressed!

Q7: Can you give an example of when a technology boundary negatively affected your success on a project for work or school?

I had a professor who gave arbitrary and frivolous quizzes/tests on a course management system. It is a bit of a pain to send the email, and try to get the professor to reconsider the point in an online class. The professor also never figured out that they were not organized and had directions and rules all over the course materials. I was penalized because I did not read one little thing in one little place not where the main assignment was. 

Q8: Can you give an example of when you perceived age was a boundary in the success of a project at work or school?

Specifically, I have had younger male instructors who will not give a perfect grade to a group of older woman, no matter what one does to the project. Our group actually used some new software that the instructor did not know about. He was not willing to even consider that "older" women had some great  or innovative ideas. I believe I can learn something from almost everyone I meet or have in class.
