Prensky's "Digital Natives/Digital Immigrants" & Simply Music's Percussion & Technology Workshops

The distinguished educator Mark Prensky used the term "digital native" to describe a person that grows up in the digital age, rather than acquiring familiarity with digital systems as an adult, as a "digital immigrant".

"What a day today, learning about percussion. We got to look and listen to so many instruments! Learning how they have been used as effects in many movies, we especially loved the Star Wars sounds! Here we are as part of a BoomWhacker Orchestra"
