"It is way over time to rethink educational technology. This is a brilliant book about such rethinking of digital technology in education." Professor Yong Zhao, Foundation Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas and Professor in Educational Leadership, Melbourne Graduate School of Education "This book goes to the heart of embracing digital technology as a resource to support pedagogical practice. Interactive elements encourage deep reflection about teaching intent, ensuring that professional self-knowledge about pedagogical style and belief is aligned with the ways in which digital learning is designed. Through understanding and knowing yourself as a teacher the opportunities for digital innovation become crystal clear. A must-have resource for anyone aiming to become a champion of technology that can transform learning." Professor Dame Alison Peacock, Chief Executive, Chartered College of Teaching "As an educator, one of the most powerful things you can do is to align our pedagogical beliefs and practices with the effective use of technology in the classroom. And that's exactly what Fiona and Peter 's book provides - a roadmap for teachers to invest in their own professional capital and improve the life chances of children in their care. A must-read for those committed to driving change and taking their own practice to the next level." Karine George, Chief Education Officer, Educate, and former Headteacher "Like it or not, and still many teachers don't much like it, the future of teaching is going to be far more technology driven. Read this book, and it will ensure that the technology will be used in the interests of students and genuine imaginative learning" Sir Anthony Seldon, Emeritus Professor and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Buckingham "We have been waiting for something like this that bridges the gap between pedagogy and technology. For too long they have been seen by many as mutually exclusive. This book will greatly support every teacher's learning - a must for every school" Claire Lowe, CEO, The Inspire Learning Partnership and member of the Department for Education Headteacher Advisory Board "The 50 year EdTech revolution has consistently over-promised and under-delivered. Here, Fiona and Peter explore the missing links, and in PedTech they build the foundation all educators should reference before they invest if they want significant return" Stephen Cox, Founder, World Education Summit, Chief Executive, Osiris Educational
