Week 8 - Journal 4 abstract

Similar to journal one, by Bayne and Ross, Prensky analyses the issue of learning in the classroom and how the teaching techniques are changing, developing game based learning. Prensky came up with this idea through the new e - learning system, discussing whether or not using gaming can be as effective or more effective than regular classroom lessons. Games can be more interesting and more fun, and this can encourage learning skills to develop. Therefore Prensky has explained how the new media scene can have a positive influence on the progression of education.
