Description

Digital technology lies at the heart of contemporary education provision.

This book considers the key issues in the field and addresses some fundamental but often unvoiced questions about the ever-growing use of technologies in education.

It focuses on the social as well as the technical aspects of these issues, giving careful thought to the people, practices, processes and structures behind the use of technologies in education.

The book considers a range of current debates and controversies.

Will technology replace the school or university? Will technology replace the teacher? What do we really know about learning and technology?

Does technology make learning fairer? Can technology address the many educational problems and inequalities faced by people around the world?

What does the future hold for technology and education?

What can be learnt from the history of technology use?

Neil Selwyn takes a critical look at some of the major debates concerning digital technologies and education.

Study questions and annotated further reading are included to support readers, along with a companion website linking to online sources and resources.
