Digital Video as a tool for changing ICT Learning in Schools and teacher education

Technology and Maths, Shared Island / Scotens Research Initiative

This project is a follow on from previous work. The project aims to “identify examples of digital video which provide exemplars of what the researchers see as ICT for transformational learning in contrast to ICT being more focused on substituting or amplifying existing teaching and learning practices’. The researchers have confirmed that it is their intention to identify examples of good practice in ICT both in Initial Teacher Education and among teachers. They agreed to contact colleagues in the University of Limerick who offer an MA in Digital Media in Education.
