Abstract

This paper initially investigates the ways in which digital technologies can be used to support learning in education organisations and settings (and change the nature of provision in some instances). The discussion that emerges is based both on contemporary literature and a number of recent research projects in which the author has been directly involved. A transformation in the attitude and behaviour of teachers, it is argued, is required if the possibilities and opportunities offered by digital technologies are to be maximised now and into the future. In reaching this conclusion the paper examines a number of barriers to change and explores relevant theories of learning that should lead to transformative learning whereby teachers cannot imagine a world without maximal use of the digital devices that are now available to all learners for whom they have a responsibility.
