Students have contributed to the Digital Natives Project at every step along the way. As John Palfrey and Urs Gasser were completing the text of their recently published book, Born Digital : Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives, student interns edited the text and performed literature reviews to accompany each chapter. Students have produced videos for the project, blogged extensively at the Digital Natives blog , and appeared on-stage with John Palfrey at a Born Digital talk at Google D.C. in October 2008.
