Using digital media sensibly in the classroom

Document from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, , language: English, abstract: Hardly any other society is as critical of digital media as it's the case in Germany. This attitude also slows down the use of digital media in school. And this despite the fact that new technologies can noticeably improve teaching. In addition, children and young people must also learn how to use the new media consciously.
Why are the reservations about digitalization so strong in Germany? Under what conditions could this change? How effective is digitally supported learning really? In his book, Tim Bastian presents the advantages and disadvantages of digitalization in school education.
Bastian describes how computer technology has developed over the last few decades and the importance it already has for teaching and learning processes as well as for the development of lessons. It clarifies how a learning-effective and reflected work with digital media works.
