Description:

Reimagining how digital technologies are integrated into education is crucial for fostering active and meaningful student engagement. Traditional, knowledge-centric approaches often overlook the dynamic processes students use to interact with and apply technology in their learning. By focusing on how students actively engage with digital tools to meet academic and developmental goals, educators can create richer, more effective learning experiences. This shift not only enhances academic outcomes but also prepares students with the critical skills needed to navigate and contribute to an increasingly digital world.

Cases on Enhancing P-16 Student Engagement With Digital Technologies features cases of teaching and learning with digital technologies in P-16 educational settings, focusing specifically on what learners do with technology. It shares cases of teaching in which technologies are leveraged in student-centered ways that transform learning and allow students to engage in authentic, meaningful learning experiences. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), immersive learning experiences, and traditional learning, this book is an excellent resource for P-16 educators, leaders, stakeholders, policymakers, and more.
