Sommario/riassunto

This refreshing and insightful volume provides new ways of thinking about educational technology through a wide range of metaphors. Using metaphors as a mental model, Weller enables educators to move beyond pragmatic concerns into imaginative and playful uses of technology and to critically examine the implementation and adoption of ed tech.
