History of Digital Game-Based Learning
• The digital games emergence was during the last decades of the 20th century according
to Marc Prensky. The current youth generation has many avenues of access to
technology. This includes computers digital music play Therefore, because of this
access to technology, Prensky argues that today’s students “think and process
information fundamentally differently than their predecessors.”2
• Teachers, or what Prensky calls “digital immigrants” now have to adapt to the language
and learning styles of “digital natives,” a term he uses to describe students who have
always been surrounded by technology, video games and cell phone technology.
