This book examines the presence and effects of new technologies in
the lives of young people. The rapid pace of change in the
development and use of digital technologies, and the likely impact
this has on youth, means that the topic has wide implications for
educational institutions, theory and practice. There is a demand
for a concentration on the ways in which new devices such as smart
phones and tablets, as well as new platforms and recent notions
such as the 'flipped classroom', are affecting the way education is
being provided. However, there is also still a small minority who
do not have full access to the internet, and the disadvantages
suffered by this group must also be addressed. The internet offers
a vast range of opportunities for young people, and yet for various
reasons it is not always available. This can partly be attributed
to the controls that schools impose on the use of digital
technology, for reasons of safety and security, and can in part be
explained by the fact that policy makers have contradictory
attitudes to technology. While they may argue for the need to have
a well-educated and well-trained workforce, they fear the threats
to privacy and safety posed by the internet. This book asserts that
society needs to have more open debate about the threats and
opportunities of digital technology as it is a dynamic and
ever-changing topic for us all. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the Oxford Review of Education.
