Since the "Role of IT" was first written in 1995, there have been many important developments in the perception and practice of IT, not least with the addition of the all-important "C" of Communication to the acronym. The potential of the Internet, email and the World Wide Web had been recognized at this stage but was of only minimal significance to the practice of teachers in the classroom. Today, however, information and communications technologies lie at the very heart of policy-making in education. This fully updated second edition assesses this seismic change.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"In 'The Role of ICT,' Loveless takes a thoughtful look at technology and its impact... Loveless builds a convincing argument to claim that ICT capability in the twenty-first century has moved beyond the technology to become and issue of teaching and learning, influenced by factors beyond the classroom.... Loveless puts forward a number of powerful themes.... From beginning to end, Loveless' book reflects a delightful integration of research and practical experience. She seamlessly weaves concrete examples for teachers through the ideas and investigations of forward thinkers and through progressive ways of thinking about ICT capability.... The research supporting the themes and examples is solid. Loveless is clearly familiar with the literature and research in the field. The bibliography alone would be valuable as a reading list for ICT and education.... The ways of thinking about ICT capability presented throughout the book represent the exciting transformations of ICT and pedagogical practices that are happening in many venues around the world." -Gail Kopp, Canadian Journal of Education, Vol. 27, No. 2&3, 2002
