Mark Prensky have published a new book : "Teaching Digital Natives, Partnering for Real Learning".
I am very surprised he tell nothing about Scratch. However, I think Scratch enable to pursue his "new paradigm" all over the world. This website is here to proove it.

That's why I have titled : Paradox for a paradigm :-)

Another book of interest is

Program or be Programmed

Ten Commands for a Digital Age

Douglas Rushkoff

www.orbooks.com/our-books/program/

"In this spirited, accessible poetics of new media, Rushkoff picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off, helping readers come to recognize programming as the new literacy of the digital age––and as a template through which to see beyond social conventions and power structures that have vexed us for centuries."

I have not read it yet, but I've just order it. I became interested because he is claiming programming to be the new literacy. I love it!
