Applying Devine\u2019s model of the interrelationship among structure, power, and agency, it problematizes this goal by analyzing the dialectics of the power relations between seniors and children who maintain a technology-driven relationship. The data were gathered via qualitative participant-observation in two elementary schools. The results reveal clashing implications for children\u2019s empowerment as computer \u201cteachers\u201d and their experiencing of agency. Implementation of Devine\u2019s theoretical model sheds light on the meanings of the stereotyped terms \u201cdigital natives\u201d and \u201cdigital immigrants,\u201d as well as on the a-stereotyped senior\u2019s identity as \u201cdigital consumers.\u201d The conclusions suggest that the technological gap may not be definitive in confirming young people\u2019s supremacy in the generational hierarchy, signaling the need for caution in handling this gap via civic empowerment in an educational setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444816639971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,31]],"date-time":"2016-03-31T21:45:54Z","timestamp":1459460754000},"page":"1388-1405","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Education in civic participation: Children, seniors and the challenges of an intergenerational information and communications technology program"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tova","family":"Gamliel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bar-Ilan University, Israel"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1461444816639971","volume":"4","author":"Andrea C","year":"2012","journal-title":"Occasion: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities"},{"key":"bibr2-1461444816639971","volume-title":"Teaching Values and Citizenship across the Curriculum","author":"Bailey R","year":"2000"},{"key":"bibr3-1461444816639971","volume-title":"Self-Efficacy: The Exercise of Control","author":"Bandura A","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr4-1461444816639971","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/110330880801700103"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr5-1461444816639971","first-page":"365","volume":"40","author":"Bar-Yosef R","year":"2000","journal-title":"Megamot"},{"key":"bibr6-1461444816639971","volume-title":"Internet Surfers.
