EDSE12024 - Digital Pedagogies in Secondary Schools

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit examines the technological skills and knowledge necessary in a 21st-century digitally connected world. In this unit, you will investigate the theoretical foundations of e-learning and how technology offers a platform for inclusivity, creativity, and innovation with a particular emphasis on Web 2.0 interconnectivity and Web 4.0 intelligence. It is both theoretical and practical, providing opportunities to develop, refine, and reflect on skills and literacies related to e-learning in a secondary context. The unit also encourages ongoing reflection on the cultural and critical aspects of technological literacy while helping pre-service teachers to expand and enhance their existing technological skills.
