A Review of Technology in Teaching and Learning
Dr Alison Egan - June 2020
The education systems that have done best during the pandemic are ones that have included strong technological content in Initial Teacher Education. They have supported teachers with technological hardware and have provided good quality continuous professional learning and development. Many systems, however, have done little in these areas and they have struggled to help teachers and students to adjust to remote learning. In all systems, equity of access for students-and for teachers-to technology have come to the fore as major issues, with the digital divide between the digitally advantaged and disadvantaged being accelerated.
