According to Prensky, the immigrant/native divide refers to the difference in technology usage and digital skills between those who grew up with technology (the natives) and those who adopted it later in life (the immigrants). This divide can affect how students learn as natives may have a more intuitive understanding and comfort with technology, while immigrants may face challenges in adapting to and utilizing digital tools in their learning. It's important for educators to bridge this divide and provide support to all students in developing digital literacy skills.   The immigrant/native divide and its effect on different generations can be significant. Younger generations who are considered natives, having grown up with technology, often have a natural affinity and proficiency with digital tools. They tend to integrate technology seamlessly into their daily lives and learning experiences. On the other hand, older generations, the immigrants, may face challenges in adapting ...

                         knapps relation model shows us different ways on how we build relationships, maintain and how they sometimes can fall apart. Social media, distance, time, ect. all play a part in how our relationships go. I have had many relationships with friends, family and lovers who have came together and ended there or still in that maintenance spot and coming apart. I don't see one as the hardest or easiest for me they all have their challenges that come along with building a relationship and they all have there moments of ease.  Im going to talk about the relationship I have with my sister. She is 22 and I am 20 and we didn't get close till about 2 years ago. Its crazy to think how you can live with someone your whole life and not be friends or on good terms. We had good moments of course but most of the time we had hatred towards each other ver dumb little stuff and I believe that's because of how much...

When it comes to the ideal number of "friends" on Facebook, it's not necessarily about the quantity, but more about the quality of those connections. Research suggests that having meaningful and supportive relationships on social media can have positive effects on mental health. However, having a large number of superficial connections or experiencing negative interactions can be detrimental. As for the factors that influence whether Facebook has negative or positive effects, it can vary from person to person. Some factors that may contribute to negative influences, like links with depression, include excessive social comparison, cyberbullying, and feelings of isolation. On the other hand, positive results, like boosts in self-esteem, can be influenced by factors such as receiving social support, positive feedback, and engaging in uplifting content. It's important to remember that everyone's experience with social media is unique, and individual factors, such as p...

 Hello everyone! my name is Kinzy Bowen and I am a 20yr old student athlete here at Oregon State University. I currently live in Corvallis, Oregon but I am originally from a small town in Eastern Oregon called La Grande. I am working towards figuring out my degree and which major I would like to pursue. I came to college starting out in the business degree but unfortunately I got injured and broke my knee playing softball and could no longer go to my in person business classes so I changed my major. I am still recovering from my injury a year later and trying to get back into playing my sport. I don't get a lot of free time because I'm always busy doing physical therapy and practice but when I do I love going to the beach or the mountains. An interesting fact about myself is that my friends and family call me Trey because that was supposed to be my name until my parents found out I was a girl.  I would like to learn about the behind the scenes type of stuff that goes into soci...
