The second website I found was a publication of The Michigan Virtual University. As did the first website I found, this article related back to the original discussion of digital immigration by Marc Prensky. The article actually refers back to Prensky's article throughout the whole of this article and the writer dis cuss's it and relates it to his own experiences. I guess it could be classed as a kind of review of Prensky's article. By referring and relating back to Prensky's article, it helps to strengthen what Prensky thought and it also helped me to gain better understanding of what it means to be a digital native or a digital immigrant. I therefore felt that this website is a useful one.
In terms of usability of the website it was a very simplistic website with everything being on the same page where you had to scroll down to read the entire article. There were a set of hyperlinks available but further down the page if you were about half way through reading the article which I found a bit odd because they weren't in a prominent place. The hyperlinks were useful though, especially one in particular which was a link to related articles.
Overall I feel that as a website it was constructed a bit odd, but the article itself was very useful in terms of content and helping readers gain more understanding of digital immigration and digital natives.
