Abstract

This is the paperback version of the hardcover (ISBN 0071363440) and PDF versions already listed on Amazon as Digital Game-Based Learning, by Marc Prensky "The time has come for Digital Game-Based learning. Thanks to the Internet, video games, and increasingly accessible cutting-edge technology, new learning styles have emerged. The Nintendo and MTV generation process information more rapidly than ever before, prefer graphics to text, and work on several fronts at once, making them champion multi-taskers. As a result, today's new work force is eager for new challenges. But so far, the traditional mainstream business world has done very little to accommodate them, particularly apparent in the realm of training sessions. The question arises: How do you train today's bright young business people for the rules of corporate life in ways that will effectively tap their learning potential--and won't put them to sleep? Written by former vice president of Human Resources at Bankers Trust and present founder, CEO, and Creative Director the groundbreaking games2train.com Web site, this timely and innovative book defines digital game-based learning, explains it advantages and benefits far into the future, where it can be used­­and how."
