In a time when internet connection is a central part of our everyday lives and wherewe constantly communicate through digital aids, a possible threat has arisen. Surveillance by commercial companies tracks most of what we do on their websites and then stores that data so that, for example, in the future companies can market specific goods that the user has previously looked at. The data collected by a specific supplier is not always saved for that specific company’s use only. The data is also used as a commodity between different online suppliers, the trade itself turns over billions of Swedish kronor every year. The purpose of this study is to examine young adults aged 20-30 (also called digital natives) knowledge, opinions, and thoughts regarding surveillance on the internet for commercial purposes. The study wants to find out what knowledge they say they have, what opinions they have and whether they adapt to the phenomenon by, for example, using VPN services or the like. Previous research in the field has shown that young people do not possess a deep knowledge of the subject and that they rarely adapt to any great extent to the phenomenon. The theoretical framework addresses both the user's and the supplier's perspective. The framework introduces surveillance and integrity from a theoretical perspective, but also addresses the power the supplier has and the financial conditions for the supplier. The results of the study show that, like previous studies in the same field, digital natives do not possess a deep knowledge of the subject and that they rarely adapt. Opinions differ however, where some say they do not care, and some believe that the surveillance has gone too far. In the ensuing discussion, we turn back and forth on the participants' reasoning and try to create a comprehensive picture of why the participants think the way they do.

The purpose of this mixed-method study was to investigate digital native preservice teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs regarding their technology experiences and skills at the beginning and at the end of their field placement semester. Digital natives, as defined by Prensky (2001), are students born after 1980 who have been raised with digital media and spend a great deal of time engaging with digital devices. Factors that could impact changes in these participants’ technology integration self-efficacy beliefs were also analyzed. This study used pre- and post-surveys, face-to-face interviews with a portion of the respondents, and a document review of course materials and lesson plans. Twenty-one preservice students, enrolled in the second to last semester of a teacher preparation program, at a small mid Atlantic university during the fall, 2011 semester participated. The quantitative portion involved the online administration of the Technology Integration Survey at the beginning and at the conclusion of the field placement experience. For the qualitative portion, nine participants were purposefully selected for interviews in an effort to more fully understand participants’ experiences and how these experiences impacted their self-efficacy beliefs about technology integration during the semester. In order to triangulate the data, results of the quantitative phase of the study were then compared with the results from the qualitative phase of the study. The findings of this mixed-method study suggested that digital native preservice teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs to integrate technology into their teaching improved slightly over the course of the semester. In addition, a strong relationship was found between participants’ Post-Test Technology Skills scores and Post-Test Self-Efficacy scores, indicating that an increase in technology skills corresponded with an increase in self-efficacy (r = .684, p = 0.001). Qualitative results pointed to mentor support, time, and access to technology during their field placement experiences as factors for integrating technology into their instruction. Additionally, results indicated that participants had access to and spent a considerable amount of time on computers every day. They were proficient with basic technologies but reported lower proficiency with more difficult technologies. Yet, results also suggested that, while this group of digital native preservice teachers has grown up in the digital age, their practice and, more importantly, their fundamental understanding of integrating technology into their instructional practices was limited.

In specific terms, it is the consumption and the global spread of local cultures through cultural products exchanged in the course of the online communications of that group. The corpus of this research is Hallyu 2.0, that is to say, the "second wave" of international popularization of South Korean culture via the Internet in the late 2000’s, with its exponent the contemporary musical genre, K-pop. Thus, one wonders how the spread of local cultures on a planetary level occurs and what the contribution of the digital natives in this process. In general terms, the scope of the study is to understand the role of virtual interactions among digital natives in the said dynamics. It is believed that these young people propagate the local cultural product of esteem so that it gains the essential media visibility to avoid its symbolic extinction. In order to elucidate the object, the views of Trivinho (1998, 2007, 2010, 2012), Jenkins (2006, 2012), Jenkins, Green and Ford (2014), Dijck and Nieborg (2009), Prensky (2001), Tapscott (1998, 2010), Buckingham (2011, 2013), de Lee Seung (2015), Choi (2015) e KOCIS (2011). Methodologically, the theoretical-empirical perspective based on a bibliographical research destined to the construction of the theoretical reference pertinent to the object is chosen for the study; also, an immersion into the digital platforms YouTube, Facebook, Viki and fan sites, in order to consolidate an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon / O presente Projeto de Pesquisa aborda a dinâmica do consumo cultural realizado no Brasil por meio de apropriações que ocorrem nas interações entre os nativos digitais no ambiente da rede. Em termos específicos, trata-se do consumo e da propagação global de culturas locais por meio de produtos culturais permutados no decorrer das comunicações online desse grupo. Para tanto, como corpus de pesquisa, analisa-se a Hallyu 2.0, isto é a “segunda onda” de popularização internacional da cultura sul-coreana via internet, no fim da década de 2000, tendo como seu expoente o gênero musical contemporâneo jovem, K-pop. Assim, interroga-se como ocorre a disseminação de culturas locais em nível planetário e qual a contribuição dos nativos digitais nesse processo. Em linhas gerais, o escopo do estudo consiste em compreender o papel das interações virtuais entre os nativos digitais na referida dinâmica. Acredita-se que esses jovens propagam o produto cultural local de estima a fim de que este ganhe a visibilidade mediática essencial para evitar sua extinção simbólica. No intuito de elucidar o objeto, privilegiam-se as visões de Trivinho (1998, 2007, 2010, 2012), Jenkins (2006, 2012), Jenkins, Green e Ford (2014), Dijck e Nieborg (2009), Prensky (2001a, 2001b, 2011), Tapscott (1998, 2010), Buckingham (2011, 2013) de Lee Seung (2015), Choi (2015) e KOCIS (2011). Metodologicamente, elege-se para o estudo a perspectiva teórico-empírica baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica destinada à construção do referencial teórico pertinente ao objeto e em imersão nas plataformas “sociais” da rede YouTube, Facebook, Viki e sites de fãs, a fim de consolidar-se uma compreensão aprofundada sobre o fenômeno

This lightning talk will discuss the prospects of ofering student workshops on how to use Google Education Apps and Microsoft 365. Google Education Apps and Microsoft 365 are two platforms that many colleges use today. Students emails are typically Outlook or Gmail products, which allows students access to whole suite of cloud based products, including storage, that will make their lives easier. Marc Prensky coined the term "Digital Native" in 2001, stating "students today are all 'native speakers' of the digital language of computers, video games and the internet". When most these Digital Natives get to college, they believe they are technologically proficient, yet when we them in instruction sessions and work with them on-on-one, many students are clueless about cloud tec hnology. How can we as librarians ilustrate to students how important it is to know this technology? Librarians should bring ideas, benefits, challenges, and lessons learned.

1 EINLEITUNG Digitale Medien, insbesondere internetfähige Computer, nehmen für Jugendliche einen bedeutenden Stellenwert in ihrer Freizeit ein. Den hohen Nutzungszeiten des Internets1 werden größtenteils unterhaltungsorientierte Nutzungsweisen zugeordnet. Die Situation unterscheidet sich damit nur gering von Beobachtungen aus der Zeit der Einführung des Internet an Schulen Ende der 1990er Jahre [Lit1]. Neben dem Einsatz des Computers als Unterhaltungs- und Kommunikationsmedium ist dieser auch Lern- und Arbeitsmittel. Insbesondere E-Learning-Szenarien können neue Möglichkeiten schaffen, Lerngemeinschaften einzurichten, welche den Gruppenmitgliedern das medienvermittelte und selbstgesteuerte Lernen erfahrbar machen und den Austausch sowohl über Lerninhalte als auch Erfahrungen ermöglichen. Schüler sind in diesem Kontext eine besondere Gruppe, da sich gerade unter Berücksichtigung der immer stärkeren Verbreitung der Online-Technologien im Alltag Jugendlicher die Frage stellt, ob sich die sogenannten „digital natives“2 auch in der Schule3 – bei der Nutzung des Computers als Lernwerkzeug – wiederfinden. Viele Veröffentlichungen zur Netzgeneration schließen direkt von der Mediennutzung auf die computerbezogenen Einstellungen der Jugendlichen, ohne diese Phänomene eingehend zu untersuchen [Lit2]. Eine gründliche, auch empirische Betrachtung dieser Einstellungen zur Überprüfung des Konstrukts der „digital natives“ ist somit unerlässlich und Untersuchungsgegenstand des Beitrages.

As the world economies have shifted from being production-based to knowledge-based each country has to develop their technologically literate workforces to stay globally competitive. A low interest in the engineering profession among younger students has caused insufficient support for the workforce demand. Marketers must adapt their efforts to recruiting young people even before they attend college as this focused cohort tend to make career plans early. As today’s teenagers have been using digital media constantly since they grew up, they are frequently called digital natives. They perceive social networking sites, where they can communicate with friends and exchange information with people all over the world, as essential parts of their lives. This makes social networks great promotional tools, as digital natives share experiences and opinions about products and services online, creating a kind of electronic word-of-mouth, which is characterized as the future of social media marketing communications. To investigate in what ways digital natives’ absorb online marketing, the purpose of this research is to provide a better understanding of how technical high schools can address digital marketing activities to attract more students. The thesis was compiled after inquiries from the Swedish nationwide senior high school Teknikcollege, and it is conducted as a quantitative explanatory study, where primary data was collected through an online questionnaire distributed among junior high school students in Luleå and Överkalix. A total of 239 answers were collected and 182 answers were analyzed using statistical techniques. The results suggested that senior high schools should focus their online marketing efforts on visual social media channels, and that people based trust is the most important factor when using the peripheral route to persuade digital natives.

The diploma thesis Social media in a perspective of chosen generations covers the topic of differences in the use of social networks between generation X and generation Y. The aim of the thesis is to find out if there exist differences in the use of social networks between generation X and generation Y. Furthermore, the subject of the research is to explore the motivation of generation X and generation Y for using specific social networks and the needs they satisfy through social networks. The first part of the thesis consists of introduction of theoretical concepts and terms related to the theme of the thesis. Specifically, the uses and gratifications theory is defined, followed by the concept of active audience and the terms digital immigrants and digital natives. The following chapter presents characteristics of generation X and generation Y and the specifics of social networks. The methodological part of the thesis describes methods used in the research. For the research I chose a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Within the practical part of the thesis, a qualitative research was carried out through in-depth interviews. The second part of the research was carried out in the form of a quantitative questionnaire survey. In conclusion, the outcomes of both studies are summed up...

Taking the parents and the educator as immigrant and the digital children as native of the group of 1º Year of EF I, a private school education, in São Bernardo do Campo. It is a quantitative research in the measure where it studies the frequency with that the data appear between the group of participants and qualitative a time that appeals to the strategies of collection of data such as: wheel of colloquy with the students; questionnaire, e-mails and group of quarrel with the parents (father or mother); questionnaire, e-mails and interviews with the teacher. And as the theoretical results of this work for authors such as: BABIN & KOULOUMDJIAN (1989); KEYS & SETZER (1980); HUIZINGA (2001); LÈVY (1993; 1996; 1999); KENSKY (2003; 2007); MORAN (1987; 2007); PAPERT (2008); BRAVE (2002); SANCHO (1998); QUEIROZ (1999), SÁ (2001) that they had contributed in the measure where they make possible a conversation between its ideas, conceptions and with the voices of the participants of the research. The results go to understanding what the computer for the students is related to the relation between: infancy, experience, playfulness as elements for the construction of the knowledge; for the parents a possibility still in adaptation, but that it requires orientation; e for the teacher still the technology seems still to be in the limits of the field of the resistance, probably in result of the incongruity between qualification and politics of teaching work. The work leaves questions, expecting to stimulate, with this, new studies / Considerando a relevância do tema nas discussões acerca da educação e novas tecnologias na sociedade contemporânea, a presente pesquisa de cunho exploratório, propõe compreender relação dos adultos e crianças com o computador e como ele media (ou não) está relação. Tomando os pais e a educadora como imigrantes e as crianças como nativos digitais do grupo do 1º no do EF I, de uma escola da rede particular de ensino, em São Bernardo do ampo. É uma pesquisa quantitativa na medida em que estuda frequência com que os dados aparecem entre o grupo de participantes e qualitativa uma vez que recorre a estratégias de coleta de dados tais como: roda de conversa com os educandos; questionário, e-mails e grupo de discussão com os pais (pai ou mãe); questionário, e-mails e entrevistas com a educadora. E como aporte teórico para as reflexões desta pesquisa autores como: BABIN & KOULOUMDJIAN (1989); CHAVES & SETZER (1980); HUIZINGA (2001); LÈVY (1993; 1996; 1999); KENSKY (2003; 2007); MORAN (1987; 2007); PAPERT (2008); VALENTE (2002); SANCHO (1998); QUEIROZ (1999), SÁ (2001) que contribuíram na medida em que possibilitaram uma conversa entre suas ideias, concepções e com as vozes dos participantes da pesquisa. Os resultados caminham para compreensão de que o computador para os educandos está atrelado à relação entre: infância, experiência, ludicidade como elementos para a construção do conhecimento; para os pais uma possibilidade ainda em adaptação, mas que requer orientação; e para a educadora a tecnologia parece ainda estar nos limites do campo da resistência, provalvelmente em decorrência da incongruência entre qualificação e políticas de trabalho docente. O trabalho deixa questões, esperando-se incentivar, com isso, novos estudos.

Estes, assim como os demais estudantes considerados nativos digitais, passam a maior parte do tempo conectados à internet, por meio das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDIC). Frente ao progresso das TDIC não podemos ignorar que os estudantes do século XXI apresentam características e comportamentos diferenciados. Nessa perspectiva, surgiu a necessidade de comparar estudantes nativos digitais PCD (G1) com estudantes nativos digitais não identificados como tais (G2), no uso das TDIC. Os objetivos específicos consistiam em: caracterizar a ação dos estudantes em relação às TDIC; caracterizar os grupos G1 e G2 quanto ao uso das TDIC, competências digitais e à existência de possíveis discrepâncias entre os grupos, na utilização das mesmas; identificar, em momentos de atividades livres propostas pela pesquisadora, como os estudantes usam as TDIC, se como entretenimento ou ferramenta de aprimoramento intelectual; identificar as preferências e possíveis discrepâncias entre G1 e G2, em momentos de atividades livres. Participaram da pesquisa 36 estudantes do Ensino Fundamental, sendo 18 PCD, pareados a 18 com desenvolvimento típico. Todos realizaram atividades livres e um programa de atividades dirigidas. Os dados foram organizados, cruzados, analisados qualitativa e quantitativamente. Nossos achados revelaram que a maioria dos estudantes, de ambos os grupos, apresentaram ações Conscientes, no que tange à utilização de ferramentas comunicacionais e ações de Desconhecimento, Tentativa e Erro, no uso de ferramentas operativas e de produção; os estudantes do G1 executaram mais ações Conscientes, com maior diferença entre os estudantes dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental; ambos os grupos podem ampliar as competências digitais, no que diz respeito ao tratamento da informação, produção de conteúdos e comunicação; os fenômenos da precocidade e da superdotação não determinaram maior ou menor número de esclarecimento e/ou ajuda e atividades (não)realizadas, no entanto, verificamos que alguns estudantes PCD adotavam as TDIC como uma ferramenta de aprimoramento intelectual, sendo que, se estes receberem orientações sobre o desenvolvimento das competências digitais, essa utilização será ainda mais efetiva. Sobre as preferências dos estudantes, ambos os grupos interessaram-se jogos e sites semelhantes, de modo que, dentre os estudantes do G1, alguns, que se destacavam pela presença marcante dos Três Anéis da teoria de Joseph S. Renzulli, realizaram atividades relacionadas diretamente às sua área de interesse ou optaram por conteúdos educativos. Acreditamos que só alcançaremos a tão almejada inovação educativa, quando estudantes e professores forem capazes de usar as TDIC de maneira intencional, consciente, criativa e digitalmente competente, tornando-os artefatos pedagógicos de uso diário, no contexto escolar. Ao término da pesquisa, foi elaborado um informativo, em formato digital, com orientações sobre competências digitais e segurança ma internet para estudantes, pais e/ou responsáveis e professores. / Early students and/or with gifted behavior (PCD) are part of the target audience of Special Education. These, as well as other students considered digital natives, spend most of the time connected to the internet, through Digital Information and Comunication Technologies (TDIC). Front of the progress of TDIC we can not ignore that the students of the XXI century have characteristics and different behaviors. In this perspective, the need to compare digital native students PCD (G1) with digital native students that were not identified as such (G2), in the use of TDIC. The specific objectives consisted in: characterize the action of the students in relation to TDIC; characterize the G1 and G2 on the use of TDIC, digital skills and the existence of possible discrepancies between groups, in use; identifiy, in times of free activities proposed by the researcher, how the students use the TDIC, whether as entertainment or intellectual improvment tool; identify the preferences and possible discrepancies between G1 and G2, in times of free activities. The participants were 36 students of elementar school, 18 PCD, matched to 18 with typical development. All conducted free activities and a program of directed activities. The data were organized, cross-analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Our findings revealed that the majority of students in both groups showed Conscious actions regarding the use of communication tools and actions of Unknowing, Trial and Error, the use of operational tools and production; G1 students performed more aware actions, with greater difference between the students of the early years of elementary school; both groups can widen the digital skills, regarding the processing of the information, content production and communication; the phenomena of precocity and giftedness have not determined a greater or lesser number of clarification and / or assitance and activities done or not, however, we found that some PCD students had adopted the TDIC as an intellectual enhancement tool, and if they receive guidance on the development of digital skills, such use will be even more effective. About the preferences of students, both became interested in games and similar sites groups, so that among the students of G1, some, who stood by a Strong presence of the Three Rings of Joseph S. Renzulli’s theory, conducted related activities directly to their area of interest or opted of educational content. We believe that achieving the coveted educational innovation, when students and teachers become able to use the TDIC intentionally, knowingly, creative and digitally competent, making the pedagogical artifacts of daily use in the school context. At the end of the survey, an informative was prepared, in eletronic format, with guidance on e-skills and digital security for students, parentes and/or guardians and teachers.
