על הספר, מאתר מכון מופ"ת: שלושה רבדים של טכנולוגיות חדישות מחייבים שינוי פרדיגמטי בהתייחסות לשילובן ולהטמעתן בתהליכי הלמידה וההוראה: רשתות חברתיות, מציאות אלטרנטיבית וטכנולוגיות ניידות. במקרים רבים, גם כשהמורים משתמשים בטכנולוגיות אלה או בחלקן, הם אינם בוחנים מחדש את תהליכי ההוראה והלמידה ומשנים אותם, ואינם מנצלים את ההזדמנויות החדשות שהכלים הטכנולוגיים מזמנים. לנוכח זאת, העולם הפדגוגי החדש מחויב להציב לעצמו מטרות מחודשות ולנסח שוב את דמות המורה החדש: הפדגוג הדיגיטלי שמזהה את ההזדמנויות החדשות ליצירת סביבת למידה, הטמונות בעולם הטכנולוגי. הספר פדגוגיה דיגיטלית: הזדמנויות ללמידה אחרת מיועד לאנשי חינוך, למובילי חדשנות בהוראה ובלמידה, לסטודנטים לחינוך ולאנשי קהילות המחקר והפיתוח באוניברסיטאות ובמכללות להכשרת מורים. קדם לו הספר פדגוגיה דיגיטלית: הלכה למעשה, הכולל מחקרים המשלבים בין תאוריה למעשה ופותחים צוהר ליישומה של פדגוגיה דיגיטלית בבתי הספר.

In Schools We Trust: Creating Communities of Learning in an Era of Testing and Standardization
Authors: Deborah Meier
Field: Education
Meier, D. (2002). In Schools We Trust: Creating Communities of Learning in an Era of Testing and Standardization. Boston: Beacon Press.
We are in an era of radical distrust of public education. Increasingly, we turn to standardized tests and standardized curricula-now adopted by all fifty states-as our national surrogates for trust.
Legendary school founder and reformer Deborah Meier believes fiercely that schools have to win our faith by showing they can do their job. But she argues just as fiercely that standardized testing is precisely the wrong way to that end. The tests themselves, she argues, cannot give the results they claim. And in the meantime, they undermine the kind of education we actually want.
In this multilayered exploration of trust and schools, Meier critiques the ideology of testing and puts forward a different vision, forged in the success stories of small public schools she and her colleagues have created in Boston and New York. These nationally acclaimed schools are built, famously, around trusting teachers-and students and parents-to use their own judgment.
Meier traces the enormous educational value of trust; the crucial and complicated trust between parents and teachers; how teachers need to become better judges of each other's work; how race and class complicate trust at all levels; and how we can begin to 'scale up' from the kinds of successes she has created.
Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology: The Digital Revolution and Schooling in America
Authors: Allan Collins and Rich Halverson
Field: Educational Technologies; Educational theory and technology
Collins, A., & Halverson, R. (2009). Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology: The Digital Revolution and Schooling in America. New York: Teachers College Press.
The digital revolution has hit education, with more and more classrooms plugged into the whole wired world. But are schools making the most of new technologies? Are they tapping into the learning potential of today's Firefox/Facebook/cell phone generation? Have schools fallen through the crack of the digital divide?
In Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology, Allan Collins and Richard Halverson argue that the knowledge revolution has transformed our jobs, our homes, our lives, and therefore must also transform our schools. Much like after the school-reform movement of the industrial revolution, our society is again poised at the edge of radical change. To keep pace with a globalized technological culture, we must rethink how we educate the next generation or America will be left behind. This groundbreaking book offers a vision for the future of American education that goes well beyond the walls of the classroom to include online social networks, distance learning with anytime, anywhere access, digital home schooling models, video-game learning environments, and more.
What’s worth teaching? Rethinking Curriculum in the Age of Technology
Authors: Allan Collins
Field: Educational Technologies; Educational theory and technology
Collins, E. (2017). What's Worth Teaching?: Rethinking Curriculum in the Age of Technology. New York: Teachers College Press.
This important contribution to the future of education, by bestselling author and renowned cognitive scientist Allan Collins, proposes a school curriculum that will fit the needs of our modern era. Offering guidelines for deciding what is important to learn in order to become a knowledgeable person, a good citizen, a thoughtful worker, and a valuable friend in the 21st century, Collins considers the qualities needed for a healthy and productive life. Taking a close look at how advances in technology, communication, and the dissemination of information are reshaping the world, this volume examines how schools can foster flexible, self-directed learners who will succeed in the modern workplace. A concluding chapter presents a broad, new vision for how schools can be redesigned to teach the kinds of knowledge and skills students will need in an increasingly complex society and global world.
Constructionism
Authors: Idit Harel, Seymour Papert
Field: Educational Technologies; Educational theory and technology
Harel, I., & Papert, S. (Eds.). (1991). Constructionism. Westport, CT, US: Ablex Publishing.
In 1985 the Media Lab was created at MIT to advance the idea that computation would give rise to a new science of expressive media. Within the media lab, the Epistemology and Learning group extends the traditional definition of media by treating as expressive media materials with which children play and learn. The Group's work follows a paradigm for learning research called Constructionism. Several of the chapters directly address the theoretical formulation of Constructionism, and others describe experimental studies which enrich and confirm different aspects of the idea. Thus this volume can be taken as the most extensive and definitive statement to date of this approach to media and education research and practice. This book is structured around four major themes: learning through designing and programming; epistemological styles in constructionist learning, children and cybernetics; and video as a research tool for exploring and documenting constructionist environments.
Mindstorms
Authors: Seymour Papert
Field: Educational Technologies; Educational theory and technology
Papert, S. (1983). Mindstorms. Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas. New York: Basic books.
Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers.
Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Authors: Carol Dweck
Field: Psychology and Education
Dweck, C.S (2006a) Mindset: the new psychology of success. New York: Ballantine Books.
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.

What video games have to teach us about learning and literacy?
Authors: James Paul Gee
Field: Games and learning
Gee, James Paul, (2003). What video games have to teach us about learning and literacy. New York: Palgrave Macmillan.
James Paul Gee begins his classic book with "I want to talk about video games–yes, even violent video games–and say some positive things about them." With this simple but explosive statement, one of America's most well-respected educators looks seriously at the good that can come from playing video games. In this revised edition, new games like World of WarCraft and Half Life 2 are evaluated and theories of cognitive development are expanded. Gee looks at major cognitive activities including how individuals develop a sense of identity, how we grasp meaning, how we evaluate and follow a command, pick a role model, and perceive the world.
