Native or Immigrant -- caught in the middle

I think I would describe myself as a digital hybrid. I am a product of an educational system that only used technology intermittently. I played some Number Munchers and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (spelling was obviously not a skill I mastered online), but we didn't think digitally.
I found myself faced with the need to change when I was teaching freshman composition for the first time. I was lucky enough to be in a computer lab, but found myself struggling to pry students off email and music sites to look at the readings I had planned. I quickly realized that the best way to reach some of the people in my class was to speak their language - emails, online chats, etc.
Since then I try to straddle the line between traditional educational tools (textbooks, articles, class discussions) and high-tech tools (blogs, Webpage design).
I'm a work in progress - often feeling much less "native" to the digital landscape than my students. The good news is that technology changes so often we all are working to keep up.
