Marc Prensky is the Founder and Executive Director of The Global Future Education Foundation and Institute.
“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."" -
