Delusions of Digital Nativism

So now that I have read McKenzie's article ("Digital Nativism Digital Delusions and Digital Deprivation") I do see some flaws in Prensky's ideas of Digital Nativism.  McKenzie brings up lots of good arguments about the credibility of some of the information that is included in his research.

However, looking at education as a whole and students as a whole, I still feel that the root idea behind Prensky's article is correct.  Over the years, education has changed.  We do not teach in the same manner today as we did in the 1800's.  Part of that is because of technology and part of that is because we know and understand more about how the brain works and what our students respond to.  Education today is much different than when I was in school.  But don't get me wrong, I don't think that everything in a classroom should switch to fully technology based.  If that happens we are in definite danger of raising a generation that doesn't have interpersonal skills (and sometimes I feel that we are on that path already).  But with all the stimulation that students can receive outside of school, their life inside of school should be reflective of at least some of that.  If it isn't, how are we as educators preparing our students for life in the "real world" where they need to know how to find credible information, maintain safe relationships, complete work in an ethical manner, and manage their time?  Without providing a school experience where they can begin to develop those skills through the use of technology in an active manner, we aren't doing our full job as a teacher.
