Description top

Suitable for a course in Educational Technologies for Education students.

This new book focuses on transforming learning and teaching with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by assisting future and practising teachers to make IT happen! The book, while drawing on international research and reviewing international developments in ICT, takes a strong contextual approach to Australian and New Zealand ICT initiatives.


Features and Benefits top

Case studies provide summaries of current ICT initiatives and also provide the reader with research probes reflecting the theme of the book.
Make IT Happen sections encourage the reader to reflect on the pedagogical implications of the research and ideas presented for their situated practice.
Review and Research Questions encourage the reader to engage with and reflect upon comprehensive understandings from the ICT research. These questions prompt students to formulate and articulate defensible arguments in relation to their own use of ICT.
• The In Conversation vignettes capture interesting insights from a variety of educators who have successfully utilised and promoted ICT in their various education roles.
• At the conclusion of each chapter, a section called FYI Web destinations for further research enable the reader to explore the material discussed in greater depth.
