Disputing both utopian fantasies about the transformation of education and exaggerated fears about the corruption of childhood innocence, it provides a level-headed analysis of the impact of these new media on learning, drawing on a wide range of critical research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuckingham argues that there is now a growing divide between the media-rich world of children's 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\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond Technology\u003c\/em\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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460251599084,"sku":"9780745638812","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745638812-beyond-technology.jpg?v=1774947075","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/beyond-technology-by-david-buckingham-9780745638812","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
