| description | New information and communication
technologies (ICTs) have long been heralded around the world
for their potential to 'revolutionalize'
education. This has been true no matter the place or the
specific technologies considered whether we are talking
about early promises related to the use of television and
radio in past decades or the laptops and tablets of today.
Excitement around this 'transformative' potential
is unlikely to subside in the near future: Devices will only
get cheaper, and more powerful, in the coming years, and new
technologies as yet un-invented will emerge to do things
that were previously possible only in the realm of science
fiction. That said, while connected computing devices like
laptops, tablets and smartphones are increasingly to be
found in the pockets and homes of many learners and
teachers, slow-to-change formal education systems have led
many people to observe that "technology is already
revolutionizing education – just not in the classroom." |
