In terms of technology, am I an immigrant or native speaker?

Quite clearly, I am an immigrant in regards to the language of technology! Having been born in 1966, the world of computers were just coming into existence, for me, in junior high school (known today as middle school).  http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1966.html

I have been teaching for ten years and to this very day, I am learning new language and functions of technology.  For instance, I am very new to the blogging world.  I am also very frustrated with struggle with learning how to imbed links and videos within my text.  https://youtu.be/Gpu_PV3BTfI

As the mother of two young adults; Matthew is 19 and Jacob is 18 who are both extremely proficient in the language of technology.  They are definitely native speakers in the world of technology and social media.  To their frustration, they are often called upon to help me as I navigate the world of technology.   

What I have learned over the fast two weeks, I have learned to imbed images and will attempt to do so here without the assistance of my son.  As a tired teacher, I am also a learner.Image result for tired teacher images
