• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This practice-minded reference addresses educator confusion and skepticism towards digital technologies in the classroom, demystifying the processes of digital learning and establishing a framework for integrating technology into professional development.

Theories and findings on technology-enhanced learning offer instructors models for improving their own digital literacy toward developing and implementing materials and evaluating results. Chapters analyzing current digital trends in education, including BYOD (bring your own device) learning, personalized learning, and the flipped classroom, demonstrate a wide range of educational possibilities across disciplines. The guidelines proposed in the book allow educators to develop a systematic professional learning program so that technology becomes an necessary and valued component of their teaching repertoire.

Among the featured topics:

• Change and continuity in educational uses of new digital technologies.
• Digital practices of young people and their teaching implications.
• Theories underpinning learning with digital technologies.

· Digital literacy: The overarching element for successful technology integration.

• Technology integration and the flipped classroom.
• Mobile learning: BYOD and personalized learning.

For educators and education researchers, New Digital Technology in Education is a stimulating guide to the challenges and opportunities ahead as technology continues to be an essential part of learning, and pedagogy catches up.

Rezensionen

"Wan Ng draws on her experiences in researching and using digital technologies, in particular mobile informed learning, in education. Her book provides a realistic framework that will be of interest to schoolteachers and those looking to support teachers' professional learning with particular regard to developing a repertoire of strategies involving mobile learning. The book's coherent and research informed approach mean it will be of use to education researchers, especially those investigating the dynamic between mobile learning and pedagogical practice."
