Realising the potential of technology in the classroom

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Authentic Learning for the Digital Generation is a vital examination of young people¿s use of personal devices, online creative communities and digital gaming. It calls into question the idea of the `digital native¿ and shows clearly that the majority of young users need help and support in order to benefit from the rich learning potential of personal, mobile and online technology use. Authentic Learning for the Digital Generation offers careful analysis at a time when there is much discussion about young people emerging from school unprepared for the world of work and often struggling to manage their personal relationships as they are exposed to strong content and harsh criticism online. It considers what we know of childhood experience in a digital world and offers ways in which schools and teachers can embrace the opportunity presented by ubiquitous ownership of connected, digital devices to enrich and deepen learning.
