What does it mean to be a digitally competent teacher in today’s classrooms?

Digital competence is now recognised as one of the most important priorities in education, shaping how teachers engage with technology to support learning, inclusion, and innovation. This timely book goes beyond the technical aspects of digital skills to explore the wider social, psychological, legal, ethical, and pedagogical dimensions of digital technology use in schools.

“It has been over thirty years since computers were introduced into schools. However, we still have not reached a point where a critical mass of teachers are effectively integrating technology into contemporary teaching and learning. This book, on a topic deeply connected to my heart, practice, and research, is a much-needed resource. There is a global need to understand teacher digital competency from various perspectives, and this book, with its impressive international authorship, comprehensively addresses that need.”
– Professor Petrea Redmond, University of Southern Queensland, Australia

By reimagining what it means for teachers to be “digitally competent,” the editors and contributors challenge us to think more critically and creatively about how education systems can best prepare teachers for the complexities of the digital era.
