This PowerPoint presentation summarizes key points from the article "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants Part II" by Marc Prensky. It discusses how 21st century students are digital natives with brains shaped by technology, exhibiting behaviors like strategic attention and enhanced cognitive skills. In contrast, most educators are digital immigrants who may misunderstand students and doubt game-based learning. As future teachers, preparing digital native students will depend greatly on incorporating their technologies and perspectives.
