Accessiblity
While the Prensky article was not meant to enlighten us to the conditions of poverty it eloquently highlights the need to evaluate how we reach the children of this digital age that the author refers to as digital natives. I contend that the majority of these "digital natives" are not experiencing conditions of poverty.

Very true! And given the "digital natives" we will be teaching, it is very important to try and incorporate their ways of learning into the classroom. The article discussed how just by creating a video game that is only 50% educational, by the students playing for 6 hours over the weekend, you are adding an entire "educatoinal day"! Hows that for teaching without even being present!
