Never before has technology played such a central role in
education. In 2020, seemingly over night, technology took centre
stage in the delivery of not just some education, but all education
and the metaphors to describe this time leaned heavily on
catastrophic terms of revolution, tsunami, and disruption. But why
do apocalyptic metaphors abound in the field of ed tech and what
purpose do they serve? As author Martin Weller explores, there is
significant potential for the use of metaphor in ed tech. He
demonstrates that metaphors can enable educators to move beyond
pragmatic concerns into more imaginative and playful uses of
technology while he cautions against many of the existing metaphors
that play into the adoption of technology that damages and limits
the learner experience. Metaphors of Ed Tech is essential reading
for anyone involved in education, but particularly those still
determining the impact and potential of the unprecedented pivot to
online learning in 2020.
