Who knows what about tech

The “digital native” thing has always annoyed me. I guess I should be less critical – growing up with a technology in place does not necessarily mean you understand the technology or can use it in creative ways.

I always wondered why there was so little data available on who knows what. It would seem the kind of thing researchers could easily investigate. An article in THE Journal referenced a recent study that I found interesting. The study concluded that middle school science teachers know more about tech than their students. What I found useful about the paper was the literature review (the full paper is available online). Ed tech grad students might want to take a look at this paper as a good source for other studies.
