About this book
The use of emerging technologies such as mobile and ubiquitous technologies, context-aware technology, augment-reality, and virtual reality is contributing to making education adaptive and smarter. With the ever-changing technologies, how to equip teachers with these digital skills and transform their teaching style is also important to ensure that school education is more individualised and customised for students.
Offering a global perspective with integrated practical cases, this timely book is of interest to educators, teachers, and education policymakers. And although most of the authors are from the academia, it provides non-experts with a novel view of what future schools will be like with the help of technology.
Reviews
“The book presents many interesting and challenging thoughts and ideas about the schools of the future. Everyone working in education, from teachers to policymakers to librarians, should consider this edition as they prepare for the future.” (F. J. Ruzic, Computing Reviews, December 14, 2020)
