Marc Prensky is an educator/speaker/author who has been a key voice in the development of digital game-based learning. His work has been incredibly influential in articulating the significant distinction between digital natives and immigrants those who have grown-up in the culture of new media (digita
l 
natives) vs. those of us who have had to enter into the world of new media (digital immigrants).It's worth reading his papers at his website, and even checking out his books, Digital game-based learning, and the forthcoming, Don't bother me Mom, I'm learning!
He also presented at the National Education Computing Conference. For those of you that would prefer to hear him, listen to his presentation called, Engage me or enrage me: Educating today's digital native learners.
