Information and communication technologies: Transforming learning and teaching

Abstract

This chapter establishes that technological changes offer potential for transforming learning and teaching in the 21st century. While the world is increasingly being characterised as a networked, digital world, this presents challenges for teachers who need to ensure that the educational experiences provided for their students are connected with the ways in which those students go about their daily lives, as well as preparing them for digital futures.

The chapter provides guidance for future teachers on how information and communication technologies (ICT) might be used, and discusses its implications and possibilities.
