Ed tech has so much potential, both for teachers and learners, so why hasn't it yet had the transformative impact on education that has long been promised? Daisy Christodoulou tackles both sides of the ed tech debate in answering this question, critiquing missed opportunities about how we learn, as well as areas of success. Rooted in research, and written from the educationalists' perspective, Teachers vs Tech? examines a broad range of topics from the science of learning and assessment, to personalisation, and the continued importance of teaching facts. It explores international examples from both big brand digital teaching programs and up-and-coming start-ups in considering what has and hasn't worked well. The author draws throughout on her experience in the classroom and from working within the education community. She outlines a positive vision for the future: one where technology is developed in conjunction with teachers' expertise, and is ultimately used to improve educational outcomes for all. Vive la ed tech revolution!

Reviews for Teachers vs Tech?: The case for an ed tech revolution

`Every educator should read this book. Not just those involved in educational technology: every educator.' TES `Daisy is such a good thinker, it's always a joy to read her ideas! A fascinating blend of research and insight that makes you think, re-think and think some more.' Laura McInerney, Guardian Education columnist and co-founder of Teacher Tapp `A balanced analysis of edtech's true potential ... The book actively makes the case that learning can and should be fun as well as challenging, and shows edtech's potential to diversify the teacher's toolbox well beyond quizzing apps and visualisers. Both aspects are refreshing.' Schools Week `Teachers vs Tech gives a superb introduction into the field of cognitive science and how this knowledge can be used to implement ed tech as a tool to help improve our teaching.' CogSciSci `Does technology helpor hinder learning? The answer is, of course, as with just about everything else in education, is 'it depends'. Fortunately, Daisy Christodoulou's excellent new book Teachers vs Tech? will help you make sense of it all. Highly recommended.' Dylan Wiliam `Christodoulou draws on principles of human cognition and evidence about effective teaching and learning practices, to offer suggestions for how technology can help bring about necessary improvements in education ... In this moment when understanding the possibilities of EdTech is so important, Teachers vs Tech is a helpful read.' Learning and the Brain
