This book presents a wide-ranging and critical exploration of a
topic that lies at the heart of contemporary education. The use of
digital technology is now a key feature of schools and schooling
around the world. Yet despite its prominence, technology use
continues to be an area of education that rarely receives sustained
critical attention and thought, especially from those people who
are most involved and affected by it. Technology tends to be
something that many teachers, learners, parents, policy-makers and
even academics approach as a routine rather than reflective matter.
Tackling the wider picture, addressing the social, cultural,
economic, political and commercial aspects of schools and schooling
in the digital age, this book offers to make sense of what happens,
and what does not happen, when the digital and the educational come
together in the guise of schools technology. In particular, the
book examines contemporary schooling in terms of social justice,
equality and participatory democracy. Seeking to re-politicise an
increasingly depoliticised area of educational debate and analysis,
setting out to challenge the many contradictions that characterise
the field of education technology today, the author concludes by
suggesting what forms schools and schooling in the digital age
could, and should, take. This is the perfect volume for anyone
interested in the application and use of technology in education,
as well as the education policy and politics that surround it; many
will also find its innovative proposals for technology use an
inspiration for their own teaching and learning.
