"With all the hype about education technologies and their potential for 'disruption', it's vital to scrutinize what these technologies promise and what they can and cannot do. Selwyn's book offers a much-needed critical analysis of education technology, moving beyond the overly simplified positions that ed-tech is good or ed-tech is bad or ed-tech is even inevitable.'<br /> <b>Audrey Watters, Education Writer and author of the blog Hack Education</b> <br /><br /> "Neil Selwyn is one of the most informed and incisive writers on technology in education today. This short, accessible book provides a powerful antidote to the inflated cyber-hype that is spun by educationalists, politicians and technology marketers alike."<br /> <b>David Buckingham, Loughborough University</b> <br /><br /> "Many policy-makers, educators and providers have assumed technology is good for education. In this incisive and provocative book, Selwyn insists they think again - not because technology is inherently problematic, but because our society is, designing and deploying technology to serve some interests more than others."<br /> <b>Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics and Political Science</b><br /><br /> "The book opens up �new� ways of thinking and conceptualising digital education. All those in education, whether they are �technophiles� or �technophobic�, must read this book."<br /><b> Educational Futures</b>
