"For many, digitisation is the key to revolutionising education and upbringing. But what do we know about its' impact on the learning process? Which possibilities and limits are associated with digitisation? And what are the consequences for educational interventions? Learning Before Technology! discusses these questions using a multitude of evidence and examples from schools and lessons. Central to the authors' argument is that digitisation as a structural measure will bring little benefit. The teachers who bring the lessons to life are much more important. Using evidence from the visible learning research and the impact of digitisation on young children, the authors argue passionately for learning before technology!"-- For many, digitalization is the key to revolutionizing education. But what do we know about its impact on the learning process? What benefits are on offer and what are the risks? What are the consequences for educational interventions? Putting Learning Before Technology! discusses these questions and more in a thorough exploration of the use of technology in educational settings. Central to the author's argument is that digitalization as a sole and structural measure will bring little benefit and that the teachers who bring lessons to life are much more important. Features of the book include: evidence from Visible Learning research to scientifically frame the effectiveness and pitfalls of technology in the classroom; real-life classroom examples; graphics to clearly illustrate key concepts and studies. This book is a fascinating analysis of the impact, possibilities, and limits of the use of technology within education, and will appeal to teachers and teacher-trainers in any setting or country.
