本文介绍了如何从净一代的一年级学生使用ICT工具的纵向研究工作。通过因子分析，研究发现，学生可以根据是否使用Web2.0工具进行分类（网络互动），音频和视频编辑工具（面向技术），社交网络工具（社交互动），游戏控制台（面向游戏）和在线资源或文字处理/演示软件工具网络一代的年轻学生具有高度的社会互动性，而远程学习学生的社会互动性较低。国际学生主要是网络互动，在第一年的过程中，他们的社交互动越来越多。这项研究支持了这样一种观点，即没有一个单一的网络一代具有共同的特征。研究表明，年龄是最重要的变量，性别、学习方式和学生的民族血统都在影响学生接触新技术的模式。
The paper presents work from a longitudinal study on how first year students from the Net Generation use ICT tools. Using factor analysis, the research found that students can be categorized into clusters based on whether they were using web 2.0 tools (web interactive), audio and video editing tools (technical-oriented), social networking tools (social interactive), gaming consoles (game-oriented) and online resources or word processing/presentation software tools (work-oriented).Young students within the Net Generation were highly social interactive whilst distance-learning students were less social interactive. International students were mainly found to be web-interactive with a growing social interaction over the course of their first year. The research supports the argument that there is no single Net Generation with common characteristics. It suggests that age is the most significant variable with gender, mode of study and the national origin of students all playing a role in patterning students’ engagement with new technologies.
