Marc Prensky is a New Yorker but here he is in Auckland, New Zealand giving a keynote address at the 2007 Leading Edge Conference for educators.

Marc has lots to say about 21st century students and how it might be a good idea to figure out how to educate for this century before its over. He asks three questions:

  • Who are our students?
  • How do we engage them?
  • How do we continue to engage them?

Here’s a link to a video of his address: Keynote Address
