Full Description
Classrooms in Australia have undergone a dramatic change. The increase in the amount of technology present in our classrooms and the growth in students' levels of digital fluency means educators need to equip themselves with the necessary skills to teach in a digital age. The need to have a digital pedagogy - the ability to select technologies that will enhance teaching and learning - is more important than ever before.
This book provides pre-service teachers and educators with a framework to implement a digital pedagogy best suited to the phase of learning they are teaching in - early years, primary or secondary. It equips them with the ability to select technology that will ensure their learning outcomes are met and gives them the knowledge and skills to develop your own digital pedagogy.
