The metaphors to describe this time leaned heavily on catastrophic terms: revolution, tsunami, and disruption. But why do apocalyptic metaphors abound in the field of education technology and what purpose do they serve? Martin Weller demonstrates that metaphors can enable educators to move beyond pragmatic concerns into more imaginative and playful uses of technology while cautioning against many of the existing metaphors that play into the adoption of technology that damages and limits the learner experience. \u003ci\u003eMetaphors of Ed Tech\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone involved in education, but particularly for those still determining the impact and potential of the unprecedented pivot to online learning in 2020. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Weller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771993502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771993500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Athabasca University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.91w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023","brand":"Martin Weller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077253263615,"sku":"9781771993500","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39438ce8-48e5-4784-8cd5-735c7f40ae1c.jpg?v=1685469010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metaphors-of-ed-tech-martin-weller-9781771993500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
