دانلود کتاب Education and Technology: Key Issues and Debates

What does the future hold for technology and education? What can be learnt from the history of its use in education? Does technology make education more individualized? Will it eventually replace the school, university and teacher?

In a thoroughly revised edition of this successful book, Neil Selwyn takes a critical look at some of the major current debates and controversies concerning digital technologies and education. Focusing on the social as well as the technical aspects of these issues, Selwyn addresses fundamental but often unvoiced questions about education and technology. Over the course of eight chapters, the book gives careful thought to the people, practices, processes and structures behind the rapidly increasing use of technologies in education, with an emphasis on the implications of digital technologies for individuals and institutions.

Brand new chapters on trends in AI and 'big data' driven automation of education, and the future(s) of education and technology are included. This edition also features new sections exploring post-digital perspectives, personalized learning, digital labour, and the environmental features of digital education.

The book focuses attention on the connections between recent technology developments and broader changes in education practice, education policy and education theory over the past five years. It also challenges us to reflect on future directions and controversies for education in the (post)digital age. Expanded study questions, annotated further reading and a new glossary of key terms are included to support readers. An updated companion website links to bonus chapters and audio recordings of the questions for further discussion found at the end of each chapter.
