Live-podd: The Digital Backlash in Education

Panel discussion

The hype surrounding digital technologies in education has now partly been replaced with a opposite tendency where schools worldwide are going back to printed books and banning mobile phones from the classroom. At the same time, digital technologies are deeply embedded in educational practices and the global ed-tech industry is thriving. In this panel, four distinguished researchers from the field of media and education give their perspectives on this development:

· Neil Selwyn, Professor in the Faculty of Education (Monash University, Australia)

· Petar Jandrić, Professor of Information Science (Zagreb University of Applied Science, Croatia)

· Felicitas Macgilchrist, Professor of Digital Education and Schooling (Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Germany)

· Sarah Hayes, Professor of Education and Research Lead (Bath Spa University, UK)

Organised and moderated by Ingrid Forsler and Saga Hansén both at Media and Communication Studies at Södertörn.
