This book can be quite technical at times in focusing on how our current generation of children experience true learning but, I 100% recommend it for any future or current educator who wishes to make their teaching methods more relevant to the digital generation! It's overarching theme is about how video games are the perfect learning tool with inherent scaffolding built in and so allow a learner to always be in their proximal zone of development while playing. The explanations of various types of video games and how they do so was absolutely fascinating. I was disappointed though in being left with no real ideas for how to practically implement such learning situations. Hopefully I can find some methods oriented books that expand on Gee's ideas... ( )
