Full Description
Incorporating digital technologies in the classroom can be both a daunting and exciting experience for educators of all age groups. Supporting Innovative Pedagogies with Digital Technologies explores intentional teaching approaches for using digital technologies in the classroom as a tool to support rather than replace established strategies. Readers will learn how to innovate their classroom, and vignettes from Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary classrooms will remove the overwhelming pressure of redesigning learning and teaching from scratch. Over three parts, the text explores understanding learning and teaching with digital technologies; designing and enacting learning with digital technologies; and professional responsibilities for teaching with digital technologies. Each chapter includes vignettes to illustrate key ideas and prompt discussion, reflection activities to encourage critical thinking and inspire educators to use key ideas in their practice, 'Tips and tricks' to provide practical hints and expert guidance for future consideration, and review questions to consolidate understanding.
