The Myth of the Digital Native in print form...

I had previously written a five part series about the Myth of the Digital Native.
Part 1:  The initial post with outline
Part 2:  Assumptions
Part 3:  Multitasking
Part 4:  Why remember something when we can look it up?
Part 5:  So what?

This month the printed version was published in School Library Connection's (formerly Library Media Connection) debut issue.  I am honored to appear in print.
In July, I moved unexpectedly and had to change libraries, so my plan to use the action research project to build a series of digital literacy online modules is on hold.  I hope to be able to incorporate this work into my new school library program.
In November, I will be giving a presentation based on this article and the blog series at the  Community College Humanities Association in Phoenix.  I am looking forward to hearing the discussion there.  Hopefully, it will yield helpful fruit for teachers and librarians at all levels.
