The Blurb On The Back:
Daisy Christodoulou asks why ed tech - with all its potential - hasn’t yet had the transformative impact on education that it has long promised.
Rooted in research and written from an educationalist’s perspective, Teachers vs Tech? examines a broad range of topics, from the science of learning and assessment to the continued importance of teaching facts, exploring international examples from both big brand digital platforms and smaller start-ups.
Daisy Christodoulou draws on her experience working in classrooms and within the education community to outline a revolutionary vision for the future: one where technology is developed in conjunction with teacher expertise and is ultimately used to improve education outcomes for all.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Daisy Christodoulou is former Head of Assessment at Ark Schools and Director of Education at No More Marking. This is a well researched, clearly written, fascinating and informative book that looks at the psychology of learning and teaching and how that ties in with the technology available to teachers (including initiatives from tech companies) to explain why tech hasn’t been as transformative for education as you’d expect it to be.
