Book Review
Based at the UK’s Open University, Weller is a veteran of the EdTech world. He is insightful, creative, encouraging and realistic. His current analysis — using metaphors to explore the hype versus reality of EdTech — is evidence- and experientially based and is a great read. Exploring ideas such as “undiscipline,” “alchemy,” “rewilding,” and “eduPunk,” Weller provides a critical-reflective analysis of the current state of EdTech, which is now attracting more than $16 billion a year in new venture capital. Throughout this readable (free to access) book, Weller seeks to make sense of the link between what learners need for effective learning, what teachers need to enable that learning and how technology can help rather than hinder. He is also focused on ensuring that the intensely human process of learning, engaging and developing is not lost through the application of reductionist technology. All involved in the development, deployment and use of technology for learning will find real value in this book.
