Mark Prensky Presentations

Several of us has an opportunity to hear Mark Prensky speak at BLC08. I had been looking forward to hearing him present for a while, because I knew that he was known for his view that we ought to embrace the idea of bringing elements of video gaming into the classroom as a powerful teaching tool. His latest book is, in fact, entitled "Don't Bother Me, Mom -- I'm Learning!" The main impression he left on me was that we need to talk to the kids more, to find out what they think of school, how our teaching methodologies are working -- or aren't working -- for them, and what they'd like us to do differently. He causes quite a stir, and managed to do so at BLC08 as well. For a peek at some sentiments about his presentations at BLC08, click on this blog post and be sure to read the comments as well.
