Yesterday’s learners…“…didn’t expect to be engaged by everything they did. There were no video games, no CDs, no MP3s—none of today’s special effects. Those kids’ lives were a lot less rich… …less rich in media, less rich in communication, much less rich in creative opportunities for students outside of school. Many if not most of them never even knew what real engagement felt like.”-- Marc Prensky, EDUCAUSE r e v i e w September/October 2005 marcprensky.com

Today’s learners“…have something in their lives that’s really engaging—something that they do and that they are good at……today’s kids are challenging us, their educators, to engage them at their level, even with the old stuff, the stuff we all claim is so important, that is, the “curriculum.””-- Marc Prensky, EDUCAUSE r e v i e w September/October 2005 marcprensky.com

Great Paradigm Shift
So, since students use media and technology regularly, why not engage them at their level of interest.
