Shift to the Future

<p>New technologies are dramatically changing the face of education and the nature of childhood itself. In <em>Shift to the Future</em>, Nicola Yelland examines the ways in which these technologies are reshaping the social, personal, and educational experiences of childhood, and explores the curricular revisions such changes demand. With a focus on the various information and communications technologies (ICTs) available to young students and the possibilities these ICTs offer for teaching and learning, <em>Shift to the Future</em> provides inspiring examples of teachers who have innovatively incorporated new technologies into their classrooms to engage their students in contemporary times.</p> Chapter One – The Millennials, Chapter Two – New Contexts for Learning, Chapter Three – Making Meaning: Technology as Play, Chapter Four – Thinking and Knowing: Informal Learning at Home and in Communities, Chapter Five – New Ways of Learning in School, Chapter Six – New Learning in the Third Millennium, Chapter Seven – Where Next?
