The APDH contains transcripts and photographs of a series of interviews conducted in Gwendolynne Reid’s fall 2018 Discovery Seminar on “Digital Natives and Digital Literacies.” The seminar was organized around inquiry on Marc Prensky’s metaphors of “digital natives” and “digital immigrants” and whether these metaphors are truly useful for helping us think about generational relationships with digital technologies. Students also engaged in inquiry on the digital literacies necessary to thrive in contemporary media environments.
