In this book, Larry Cuban looks at the uses and effects of digital
technologies in K-12 classrooms, exploring if and how technology
has transformed teaching and learning. In particular, he examines
forty-one classrooms across six districts in Silicon Valley that
have devoted special attention and resources to integrating digital
technologies into their education practices. Cuban observed all of
the classrooms and interviewed each of the teachers in an effort to
answer several straightforward, if also elusive, questions: Has
technology integration been fully implemented and put into practice
in these classrooms, and has this integration and implementation
resulted in altered teaching practices? Ultimately, Cuban asks if
the use of digital technologies has resulted in transformed
teaching and learning in these classrooms. The answers to these
questions reflect Cuban's assessment not only of digital
technologies and their uses, but of the complex interrelations of
policy and practice, and of the many-often unintended-consequences
of reforms and initiatives in the education world. Similarly, his
answers reflect his subtle understanding of change and continuity
in education practice, and of the varying ways in which different
actors in the education world-policy makers, school leaders,
teachers, and others- understand, and sometimes misinterpret, those
changes. The result is a crucial contribution to our knowledge of
digital technologies and their place in contemporary education
practice from one of our leading scholars of education policy,
practice, and reform.
