This first video, “How I Learned to Type,” was created by Diana Kimball and Sarah Zhang of the Digital Natives team. It takes a glance into how people of different ages learned one of the first skills every digital inhabitant needs \u2013 typing. Do you \u201cpeck\u201d with two fingers, type in multiple languages at once, or have a typing teacher with a wooden leg? The people in “How I Learned to Type” do all this and more. Digital technology has become so ingrained in our lives that for digital natives, learning to type has become a ubiquitous experience, as memorable, say, as learning to read or ride a bike. <\/p>\n
Gearing up the project to support multiple forms of investigation, engagement, learning and fun, we\u2019re proud to announce the start of our summer \u201cDigital Natives: Reporters in the Field\u201d series. In this series, we\u2019ll be investigating the many themes of our project in true Digital Native style \u2013 through video, audio, and instant message chat interviews. Stay tuned as we talk to Digital Natives on the ground, discuss related issues with researchers, educators and innovators, and celebrate the upcoming August release of Born Digital<\/a>. <\/p>\n Look for more podcasts on piracy, digital learning, online activism, and other topics. Stay tuned for the release of a new piece every Wednesday<\/strong>, and enjoy!<\/p>\n This first video, “How I Learned to Type,” was created by Diana Kimball and Sarah Zhang of the Digital Natives team.
