Teaching Contemporary Themes in Secondary Education: Technology, Culture and Communication

The media has a huge impact on how we view society and the world, and new technologies continue to transform the way in which we work and learn. It is therefore essential that young people can engage critically in their consumption of media and the internet and are able to make informed decisions about the technologies they use.  This book explores the broad contexts and ideas that technology facilitates in our culture and considers what this means for teachers in practice. It aims to help you develop your understanding about, and pedagogy with, technology and includes:     the implications of new media and technology on twenty-first century education;    guidance on choosing and using digital technologies and how these affect the educational opportunities for young people;    a consideration of students’ critical and creative thinking with digital media and their confidence and autonomy in digital consumption and production;    references to recent research to support practice;    Links to resources and organisations who can offer support.   Technology has a crucial role to play in processes of teaching and learning. This book is essential reading for trainee and practising teachers that wish to use a range of technological tools to form a dynamic and creative learning environment.

Teaching in a Networked Classroom

The pace of technological change has made the immediate and long-term future difficult, if not impossible, to predict. Teachers are forced to imagine the world they are preparing their students to live in. In this situation creativity becomes a vital resource for enabling uncertain futures to be embraced and an important attribute for students to have both for their learning and their employability in the future.  In this book, the authors argue that creativity is a social and collaborative process that can be enhanced through online and digital technologies. Filled with case studies and practical tasks, it shows teachers how they can develop an approach to teaching and learning with digital technologies that is inherently social, collaborative and creative. Including case studies and practical examples of projects and lessons throughout, the chapters cover:    Learning in a networked society   An examination of sharing practices and how knowledge can be shared more effectively   Potential pitfalls of virtual learning environments and public social networking sites    Using digital media to plan schemes of work and lessons    How to facilitate meaningful collaboration and discussion through digital media    Creating online environments to enable students to share their understandings and learning   Bringing together key ideas about creativity, collaborative learning and ICT in the classroom, this timely book will be an invaluable resource for all teachers.
