I would definitely consider myself a digital native. I have grown up with technology and will be the first to admit that I am very dependent on it. The term emergent would really apply to my own digital literacy because I am constantly learning more from or about technology and I am seeing my own development with technology grow. I think it is important for children to be brought in to technology because even as the article states, our generation, and I'm assuming the following generations, will be extremely exposed to it so they need to learn now. I think that digital learning is similar to ELL's literacy learning needs because both are really important and essential for personal "progression". I think they can also be similar because both can be somewhat intimidating if you are unfamiliar with them.
