This book looks at some of the underlying theories of educational
technology (means), and ways in which this technology is guided in
practice (ends). The authors are intent on producing ends that prepare
students to undertake new analyses and evaluations that can result in
new possibilities for democratic action. Emphasis is on their
understanding of and position within educational technology – as
opposed to using or applying educational technology. The work is not
written from the point of view that their embeddedness within
educational technology has a utilitarian end in mind, but rather that
their situatedness within educational technology (a practice in
itself) leaves open possibilities for new ways of understanding
democratic education. This book is organised into six interrelated
themes that work towards the cultivation of educational technology as
a human practice which guides pedagogic encounters on the basis of
taking risks in relation to which the unexpected, unimaginable is
always possible.
