Marc Prensky's "Teaching Digital Natives"

Hi, all! Today we will be discussing Marc Prensky's book titled "Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning". This book discusses partnering in its entirety, and it gives some great advice for 21st century teachers who are trying to implement partnering practices in their classroom. The book has ten chapters (excluding the introduction and conclusion) and goes into great depth about partnering pedagogy. The book discusses how the world is changing and how 21st century students are different from past students thus needing to recieve a different education. The book defines partnering, discusses student and teacher roles, talks about student passion, technology, creation, partnering assessment, and many more things pertaining to the partnering pedagogy.

I completed Prensky's book and was pleasently surprised at the knowledge I gained from it. The book gives many definitions relevant to 21st century learning, and I plan on keeping the book handy in case I ever need to look up something. While some chapters were pretty lengthy, it was an easy read, and it includes some great knowledge as well as suggestions. If you are contemplating taking on the partnering approach, this book will give you great insight on how to do so (and it may just persuade you to implement partnering if you're on the fence about it :) ).

I have included a link to purchase this book, although I am sure you could conduct your own research to figure out where to get the best deal. I hope you get the opportunity to read this book to further your knowledge on the topic of the partnering pedagogy, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
