About Me

 Hello all, 

My name is Mackenzie Beasley and I am currently a psychology major but plan on switching into a forensic/mortuary program. I grew up here in Oregon within the Beaverton hillsboro area, right now I currently live in Corvallis and am going to school in the main OSU campus. I have never taken a communications class before and am admittedly a bit nervous to do so but i'm hoping it will be a good experience and will help me within my career path. I primarily use instagram and tiktok to communicate with others online, I use these two due to their easy access and popularity, many of my friends use these apps and I can easily get in contact with them. One fun fact about myself is that I like to cross stitch and draw. Below you will find pictures of my cat, I look forward to getting to know you all. :]

Overall Kallmekris’ delivery kept me interested throughout the podcast, despite the rather macabre content, she manages to approach these topi...

Prensky’s/Kirschner Resear

 1. Voice  to Prensky, what is the immigrant/native divide, and how has it affected how students learn?       According to Prensky, the immigrant/native divide is the disconnect between the Newer generation of young Native Americans and immigrants having a disconnect from the older generation regarding learning and schooling. Prensky states that both digital Immigrants and natives were born from a saturated world, and it is therefore naturally integrated within the way that they think and learn. The disconnect comes from how these digital native and immigrants are taught within an academic setting. Most newer generations want a fast-paced rich learning media tool that could help build real world learning experiences, however Many of these classes are still being taught by the older generation where the teaching is outdated and rather than having fast pace, learning topics or medias, they stick to a Lecture based learning Curriculum, and thus many students h...
