Prensky, a speaker, writer, and consultant in education and learning who focuses on reinventing the learning process, designing pedagogy and curriculum for the digital generation, and combining the motivation of new technology, video games, and other activities with educational and business content, collects essays he has written about improving education. He explains to teachers, parents, politicians, and others how reform needs to come from how and what teachers teach in the changing context of twenty-first century education. He discusses what education is, what needs to change, why, and how students have changed and why; the role of technology in the classroom, including videos and computer and video games in learning; the problem students encounter when trying to get that learning acknowledged; types of learning and game styles that would aid in the design of better educational games; teachers' fears about students' use of the Internet; and the use of technologies like simulation, mobile devices, and programming.
