Have you ever tried to bake a cake without following a recipe? Unless you’re a great chef, it most likely ended in failure. Why then do we think we can use technology to teach without having a “recipe” – or in teacher talk, a pedagogy – and not have it end in failure? We can no longer teach our 21st-century students like we used to. However, there is conflicting research on the effect of technology on teaching and learning. Why is this? Quite simply, without an underlying digital age pedagogy, our attempts are going to be hit-or-miss. Arising from over 20 years of experience and research is the Activated Classroom Teaching (ACT) approach. The ACT approach is a coherent set of digital-age pedagogies that leverage the affordances of technology to maximize learning and develop key 21st century skills across a range of cognitive complexity. Packed with practical examples, this book will not only show you what technology you can use, but how you can use this technology effectively in your classroom. Plus you’ll experience the ACT pedagogies yourself through the book, the website, and the ACT teachers’ network. Whether you’ve been trying to teach with technology for years or just starting, this book is the ultimate guide to doing it better and beta. Without a guiding digital age pedagogy, we’re playing educational roulette, and the stakes are high – the future of our children. Ready to continue? Prove it.
