Digital dissonance
“Learners do not appear ‘to see beyond’ the immediately obvious functionality of the technology and there is little evidence of transfer”
Clark et al, 2008, p.68
Creating a new kind of digital divide...
…connected to digital Habit(u)s
And social class…(!)
Deursen, A. J. van, & Dijk, J. A. van. (2014). The digital divide shifts to differences in usage. New Media & Society, 16(3), 507–526
Lower educated people make less use of the Internet for personal development than the higher educated.
Conversely, the lower educated use the Internet more for gaming and social interaction than the higher educated
Deursen & Dijk, 2014
“To possess the machines, [they] only need economic capital; to appropriate them and use them in accordance with their specific purpose [they] must have access to embodied cultural capital, either in person or by proxy”

Changing assessmentchanging the way learners communicate their learning
Technology can support that process...
... but cannot replace it!

The digital classroom is a mind-set!
Any technology tends to create a new human
environment... Technological environments are not merely passive containers of people but are active processes that
reshape people and other technologies alike.
