Buckingham argues that there is now a growing divide between themedia-rich world of childrens lives outside school and theirexperiences of technology in the classroom. Bridging this divide,he suggests, will require more than superficial attempts to importtechnology into schools, or to combine education with digitalentertainment. While debunking such fantasies of technologicalchange, Buckingham also provides a constructive alternative,arguing that young people need to be equipped with a new form ofdigital literacy that is both critical and creative.
Beyond Technology will be essential reading for allstudents of the media or education, as well as for teachers andother education professionals.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
