I strongly believe this is a valuable book for all educators, both current and pre-service to read. This book serves as a great introduction for all secondary education teachers to the students they will be teaching and working with both now and in their future careers. The new generation is highly tech savvy and almost completely digital and it is important for us to keep-up with the changes in order to find new ways to innovate in the classroom and use these tools to teach in the classroom.
The book not only explains the "digital generation", but connects their practices to schooling and education, as well as explains the reasoning and debate among gaming, the internet and other media-type innovations. Our students are fully immersed in top-technology, web-related and media advancements and it is part of our job as educators to be aware and keep up with these trends. Afterall, one of the most important things a teacher needs to accomplish is getting to know each and every one of their students; and this book is a great starting point.
