“Tactile Generation” and “Digital Immigrants”: Using Media in the Formal and Informal Education

The article focuses on the way in which current Czech pupils and students as the representatives of the so-called “tactile generation” use various types of media in formal and informal education and what their teachers think about using media in education. The research was designed as practical research. Pupils from one elementary school in Prague (10 – 15 years) and students from two high schools (15 – 20 years) participated in this research. This research serves as the basis for discussion of the role of (new) media in the process of education of Czech youth.
