Today kids grow up in the light – they are connected to the world through television, the Internet, Social Networking, etc. If educators were smart, they would find ways build on this to increase the kid’s understanding. But instead they make the kids shut off all their connections to the world as they enter the building. In effect, rather than showing the kids the light, they bring the kids out of the light back into the darkness.”

Ok, vielleicht sollte man hinzufügen, dass diese Entwicklung m.E. weniger ein personelles denn strukturelles, sozio-kulturell fundiertes Manko darstellt. Im übrigen führt Prensky auch weitere, etwas konstruktivere Reaktionen auf die Studie aus. Insofern lesenswert, diese Anmerkungen des führenden Game-Design-Theoretikers.
