Based on evaluation of ICT work in a range of schools in Northern Ireland, asking what it takes to change learning through technology in what we call 'e-schooling', this book asks some hard-hitting questions of those involved in educating young people in schools at the start of the 21st century.

Illustrates that, to engage properly with pedagogy, we need to apply cultural, historical and international perspectives, as well as evidence on how children most effectively learn and teachers most productively teach. This book includes chapters on various themes, such as the benefits and hazards of international comparison, and more.
