This practice-minded reference addresses educator confusion and skepticism towards digital technologies in the classroom, demystifying the processes of digital learning and establishing a framework for integrating technology into professional development.
Theories and findings on technology-enhanced learning offer instructors models for improving their own digital literacy toward developing and implementing materials and evaluating results. Chapters analyzing current digital trends in education, including BYOD (bring your own device) learning, personalized learning, and the flipped classroom, demonstrate a wide range of educational possibilities across disciplines. The guidelines proposed in the book allow educators to develop a systematic professional learning program so that technology becomes an necessary and valued component of their teaching repertoire.
Among the featured topics:
- Change and continuity in educational uses of new digital technologies.
- Digital practices of young people and their teaching implications.
- Theories underpinning learning with digital technologies.
· Digital literacy: The overarching element for successful technology integration.
- Technology integration and the flipped classroom.
- Mobile learning: BYOD and personalized learning.
For educators and education researchers, New Digital Technology in Education is a stimulating guide to the challenges and opportunities ahead as technology continues to be an essential part of learning, and pedagogy catches up.
This book addresses the issues confronting educators in the integration of digital technologies into their teaching and their students’ learning. Such issues include a skepticism of the added value of technology to educational learning outcomes, the perception of the requirement to keep up with the fast pace of technological innovation, a lack of knowledge of affordable educational digital tools and a lack of understanding of pedagogical strategies to embrace digital technologies in their teaching. This book presents theoretical perspectives of learning and teaching today’s digital students with technology and propose a pragmatic and sustainable framework for teachers’ professional learning to embed digital technologies into their repertoire of teaching strategies in a systematic, coherent and comfortable manner so that technology integration becomes an almost effortless pedagogy in their day-to-day teaching. The materials in this book are comprised of original and innovative contributions, including empirical data, to existing scholarship in this field. Examples of pedagogical possibilities that are both new and currently practised across a range of teaching contexts are featured.

“Wan Ng draws on her experiences in researching and using digital technologies, in particular mobile informed learning, in education. Her book provides a realistic framework that will be of interest to schoolteachers and those looking to support teachers’ professional learning with particular regard to developing a repertoire of strategies involving mobile learning. The book’s coherent and research informed approach mean it will be of use to education researchers, especially those investigating the dynamic between mobile learning and pedagogical practice.” (Susan Rodrigues, Technology, Knowledge and Learning, Vol. 23, 2018)
