We all want our kids to be educated. What’s changing is what an education is, and what “being educated means.” -Marc Prensky
Marc Prensky’s answer to the question “What is the purpose of education?” — that education should now empower youth to improve their communities and the world — would unleash the energy, creativity, and compassion of students and teachers in ways we have never imagined. We need the better world Prensky envisions — and we need it now.-MILTON CHEN, The George Lucas Educational Foundation

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.
