Education to Better Their World
Marc Prensky’s 7th book, Education to Better Their World: Unleashing the Power of 21st Century Kids, describes a new vision of what a third-millenium education can be – a vision that is a far better alternative to the academic “MESS” (math, English, science, social studies)-based education of today. The book was awarded the 2016 Forward INDIES Book of the Year Gold Prize in Education.
