Paper Abstract:
|
Digital Ethnicity is a concept based on Longstreets (1978) model of the Aspects of Ethnicity. Digital Ethnicity was developed to describe the impact human interaction with digital communication technologies is having on cultural development. The ultimate goal for the development of Digital Ethnicity as a concept is to describe those aspects of digital ethnicity to achieve profiles of various digital ethnicities. These digital ethnic profiles are intended to guide thinking and provide insight into the social and educational needs of rapidly changing societal groupings by providing guidance for educational leaders, teachers and teacher education programs to prepare candidates who will be able to address the biological, social and cognitive changes brought about by pervasive use of digital communication technologies. |
