In reading this article by Marc Prensky, I must admit I became excited in thinking that I could better teach science to the natives by way of incorporating digital games and other technologies into the lessons. I will first admit, as a digital immigrant, I PRINTED OUT the article and then highlighted pertinent parts for myself. I wanted a "paper copy". What an immigrant I am. I do not wish, however, to remain that way. Wouldn't a Science game where the cell fights off invaders and all the cell parts have their "weapons" etc. be fun??? I will google to see if games like this exist.
I do not wish to discuss the "good ol days" as I am not so sure they are. They were what we had and so be it. If kids today actually do have different brains as per the article, then we must adapt.
