The Digital Classroom

Based on a major research project (the InterActive Project), The Digital Classroom explores and illustrates how digital technologies can transform learning across the curriculum. Using a wide range of educational settings - primary, secondary, school and home - it will help practitioners think about, plan and support effective learning in their classrooms and beyond. Showing how teachers can 'harness technology for the future', it covers important topics such as: personalised learning using ICT to support children with special needs the use of ICT in home-school links designing 'digital' classrooms the management of technological change in schools collaborative learning using technology continuing teacher professional development. By weaving 'evidence-based practice' into each chapter, the book will provide extensive guidance, practical advice and insights into working in the 'digital classroom' for all primary and secondary school teachers. It will offer readers the chance to examine their own practice in relation to digital technologies and enable them to understand the benefits and limitations. Throughout the volume, a number of practical exercises and reflective tasks will encourage the reader to engage with the text and contextualise each chapter within their own professional practice and experience.John, Peter is the author of 'The Digital Classroom', published 2008 under ISBN 9781843124450 and ISBN 1843124459.
