“Raise your hand if…”

“The fact is that even if you are the most engaging, old style teacher in the world, you are not going to capture most of our students attention the old

way.”

Engage me or Enrage me – What today’s learners demand.

By Marc Prensky

“The term Web 2.0 became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference

in 2004.”

“ …students have changed radically…Today’s students are no longer the students

our educational system was designed to teach.”

Digital Natives, Digital ImmigrantsBy Marc Prensky
