Description
Of all the changes required by the National Curriculum, technology is the most dramatic. Technology's rise to pre-eminence in recent years - culminating in its status as one of the seven foundation subjects in the National Curriculum - provides exciting possibilities for changing educational practices and resolving some key educational dilemmas. This book is concerned with providing a range of concepts and theories for investigating how and why technology liberates or oppresses. It aims to help teachers and educationalists to redefine the scope and nature of technology in education.
