From Digital Natives to Digital Wisdom
An expert perspective on 21st century education What can you learn on a cell phone? Almost anything! How does that concept fit with our traditional system of education? It doesn’t. Best-selling author and futurist Marc Prensky’s book of essays challenges educators to “reboot” and make the changes necessary to prepare students for 21st century careers and living. His “bottom-up” vision includes students’ ideas about what they need from teachers, schools, and education. Also featured are easy-to-do, high-impact classroom strategies that help students acquire “digital wisdom.” This thought-provoking text is organized into two sections that address: Rethinking education (including what and how we teach and measuring learning) 21st century learning and technology in the classroom (including games, YouTube, and more)
Teaching Digital Natives
Prensky presents a model for 21st-century teaching and learning, in which students become learners and creators of knowledge through technology while teachers guide and assess student learning.
EMPOWERED!
In Marc Prensky’s 10th book, about “GROWING UP EMPOWERED,” he re-frames a new and better way for all two billion young humans now in the world— who have dramatically new and different capabilities and beliefs from their 20th century-born parents—to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling 21st century adulthood. The book offers a new model of FINDING your uniqueness, APPLYING it to bettering your world, and, in so doing, REALIZING your dreams. Marc presents EMPOWERMENT HUBS as an exciting (for young people) new alternative to 20th century schooling. "Visionary...Trailblazing...

The World Needs a New Curriculum
Three essays by Marc Prensky
The Complete Guide to Requirements Management Using the REPAC® Framework
Requirements represent the needs of stakeholders, and satisfying these needs is the purpose of any project endeavor. Therefore, requirements are the most important ingredient to start any project. Critical to achieving project success is the effective management of requirements and the needs they represent. The Requirements Elicitation, Planning, Analysis, and Collaboration (REPAC) FrameworkTM is an entirely new approach to requirements management. It helps project teams center their efforts around what matters most to stakeholders—their needs. Teams use REPAC to focus their attention, choose the correct perspective, and select the appropriate level of complexity necessary for effective collaboration to build and manage requirements right the first time.
Digital Game-based Learning
A revolutionary new approach to game-based learning, Digital Game-Based Learning shows businesses how to effectively train their under-30 workers through the use of twitch-speed games, computer games, and more.

Trajectories
Trajectories meets an urgent need in both undergraduate and graduate study of the Old Testament. Too often Old Testament theology focuses on the end-product and leaves the process obscured. Each chapter of Trajectories provides a clear path connecting biblical research to theological conclusions. The final chapter offers a step-by-step method for completing a thorough hermeneutical analysis framed within a discussion of the gospel message. Trajectories also seeks to situate Old Testament theology in relation to global and generational trends influencing the church and evangelical theology. The implications of globalization and the rise of millennials on Old Testament theology are critical and thought-provoking topics for discussion. Chapters in Trajectories are organized thematically, so the textbook can serve as a companion study guide to courses in the Old Testament and New Testament. In addition, the exploration of topics allows each study to link to the New Testament. Each chapter concludes with tangible applications for the contemporary Christian church and with questions for group discussion and reflection.
