About the Book

In his latest book, internationally renowned educator and futurist Marc Prensky presents a compelling alternative to how and what we teach our children. Prensky argues that a routinely taught combination of mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies increasingly leaves the bulk of our students woefully unprepared for the future. Drawing on emerging world trends, he elaborates a comprehensive vision for K–12 education that includes new goals, new means, a new curriculum, a new kind of teaching, and a new use of technology. This is a book ultimately about developing young people’s capacity to accomplish things that will make the world a better place, using means never before available. It offers an innovative and achievable vision for a Global Future Education that will better prepare all students from diverse backgrounds. Following the author’s original ideas about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants, this volume promises to have an important impact on the educational conversations over the coming years.

Review :
“For those of us engaged as practitioners in the transformation of K-12 education to better serve the needs of today’s students, Marc Prensky has long been an inspirational thought leader. In this latest book, Prensky offers perhaps the most compelling case and model yet articulated by anyone for project-based, real-world problem-solving as the basis for all learning by today’s globally-empowered children. A must-read book for all educators and anyone who cares about education.” - James Tracy, Head of School, Rocky Hill School, Rhode Island, USA

""In this time of economic and global change, now is a critical time to ask the fundamental question: What is the purpose of education? Marc Prensky answers that education should now empower youth to improve their communities and the world. His answer would unleash the energy, creativity, and compassion of students and teachers in ways we have never imagined. We need the better world Prensky envisions and we need it now."" - Milton Chen, The George Lucas Educational Foundation

""The world of education as it stands today is in shambles and our nation’s children are the victims. Marc Prensky has penned an elegant manifesto that if implemented, even in part, would create a positive tectonic shift in the competency and engagement of our nation’s students. A must-read for all educators and parents."" - Rob Berkley, Master Certified Coach www.visionday.com
