  For many, digitisation is the key to revolutionising education. But what do we know about its impact on the learning process? What benefits are on offer and what are the risks? What are the consequences for educational interventions?

  Putting Learning Before Technology! discusses these questions and more in a thorough exploration of the use of technology in educational settings. Central to the author's argument is that digitisation as a sole and structural measure will bring little benefit and that the teachers who bring the lessons to life are much more important. Features of the book include:

  • evidence from Visible Learning research to scientifically frame the effectiveness and pitfalls of technology in the classroom
  • real-life classroom examples
  • graphics to clearly illustrate key concepts and studies

  This book is a fascinating analysis of the impact, possibilities, and limits of technology's use within education and will appeal to teachers and teacher-trainers in any setting or country.
