Filled with case studies and practical tasks, it shows teachers how they can develop an approach to teaching and learning with digital technologies that is inherently social, collaborative and creative. Including case studies and practical examples of projects and lessons throughout, the chapters cover:
- Learning in a networked society

- Potential pitfalls of virtual learning environments and public social networking sites
- Using digital media to plan schemes of work and lessons
