Abstract
The divine glow of technology…in a world of information and 24/7 communication, technology has infiltrated all aspects of life. Schools use technology in a myriad of ways and many schools market themselves on having the latest 'i' something or laptops for all. And while technology can provide many positives, there is also growing evidence that the rattle and hum of a computer may not be adding as much to our children's education as we would like to think. This presentation looks at the use of technology in schools with a focus on learning and the evidence suggesting that technology is not the panacea for improved pedagogy, higher achievement and scholastic success that it is often purported to be.
