I thought of myself as a digital native but after reading Prensky 2001, I realised that I'm a mix between the old and the new. I've lived with digital content all my life, I generally prefer it to hardware content, but I do not have the social networking, nor the love of videos of the digital natives. This became very clear to me when I chose to read the article, rather than watching the videos as my first way of learning about this. First of all, I do not believe that the students are so fundamentally different today than some 30 years ago. There are two differences that I've seen, both related to reading. The first is the reluctance to read the course literature. Many students prefer to learn by following a tutorial instead of reading the book. The second concerns a laboratory instruction that I’ve worked quite a lot on and that I believe to be quite clear. Recently, however, I’ve had many questions regarding this. At first I thought that the students had simply been too ...

I've had a computer since 1989. First it was all about playing but after a few year I got interested in programming. First I wrote my own games, though to be fair, they were never that great. However, I learnt the basics of programming, which would prove quite useful later. When I started university I learnt about Linux and I started scripting different tools, and setting up my own web page . A couple of years later I set up my own web and mail server on my Linux computer. I also coded my own photo server and an information server for storing notes, links, files, contacts and mails online. Since I became lecturer at Luleå University of Technology  in 2008, my focus has been on making the teaching, and administration thereof, more efficient. I'm examiner of a course, Physics 3 , with about 500 students each year so automation is clearly desirable. Our learning platform at the time was Fronter but there was no good tool in Fronter for online exercises of engineering problems, so...
