Putting Learning Before Technology!: The Possibilities and Limits of Digitalization
About this ebook
Putting Learning Before Technology! discusses these questions and more in a thorough exploration of the use of technology in educational settings. Central to the author's argument is that digitalization as a sole and structural measure will bring little benefit and that the teachers who bring lessons to life are much more important. Features of the book include:
- evidence from Visible Learning research to scientifically frame the effectiveness and pitfalls of technology in the classroom;
- real-life classroom examples;
- graphics to clearly illustrate key concepts and studies.
This book is a fascinating analysis of the impact, possibilities, and limits of the use of technology within education, and will appeal to teachers and teacher-trainers in any setting or country.
