Understanding well the hidden structures that shape technology and schooling in a market-driven society, he unlocks persistent puzzles about technology use in school and home that most champions and critics ignore. This engaging study deserves a broad readership among policy makers, educators, media officials, and parents concerned about the current digital generation and their experiences with ICT in schools.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Cuban, \u003ci\u003eStanford University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"David Buckingham adeptly illustrates how the nexus between media technologies, markets, schooling, government policies and the young is becoming increasingly intricate, imbalanced and volatile. He also forcefully demonstrates that the educational and metaphorical rhetoric that pervades this assemblage has been progressively inflated and perverse. Drawing on his deep knowledge of diverse media forms and of young people’s engagements with them, both in and out of school, Buckingham proposes a form of “digital media literacy”. This takes the field beyond its delusions and exclusions towards an approach with the potential to address the cultural complexities and affective intensities involved in teaching youthful digital travellers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Kenway, \u003ci\u003eMonash University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Technology\u003c\/i\u003e offers a challenging new analysis of learning, young people and digital media. Disputing both utopian fantasies about the transformation of education and exaggerated fears about the corruption of childhood innocence, it offers a level-headed analysis of the impact of these new media on learning, drawing on a wide range of critical research. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuckingham argues that there is now a growing divide between the media-rich world of childrens lives outside school and their experiences of technology in the classroom. Bridging this divide, he suggests, will require more than superficial attempts to import technology into schools, or to combine education with digital entertainment. While debunking such fantasies of technological change, Buckingham also provides a constructive alternative, arguing that young people need to be equipped with a new form of digital literacy that is both critical and creative.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Technology\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for all students of the media or education, as well as for teachers and other education professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Selling Technology Solutions 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Marketing of Educational Technology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Making Technology Policy 14\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eICTs and the New Discourses of Learning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Techno-Topias 31\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eConstructing Childhood, Learning and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Waiting for the Revolution 50\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Unfulfilled Promise of Technological Change\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Digital Childhoods? 75\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew Media and Children’s Culture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Playing to Learn? 99\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRethinking the Educational Potential of Computer Games\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 That's Edutainment 119\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDigital Media and Learning in the Home\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Digital Media Literacies 143\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAn Alternative Approach to Technology in Education\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 School's Out? 176\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Future of Schooling in the Age of Digital Media\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 186\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 205\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Economics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Economics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Economics%20%5BKC%5D%22\"\u003eKC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407302717720,"sku":"9780745638805","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745638805.jpg?v=1784160183","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-technology-childrens-learning-in-the-age-of-digital-culture-hardback-9780745638805","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
