Critical Mobile Pedagogy is an exploration of mobile technologies for designing and delivering equitable and empowering education around the globe. Synthesizing a diverse range of projects and conceptual frameworks, this case-based collection addresses the ambitions, assumptions, and impacts of interventions in under-researched, often disadvantaged communities.The editors and authors provide a nuanced and culturally responsive approach to showcasing: indigenous, nomadic, refugee, rural, and other marginalized communities emerging pedagogies such as curation, open resources, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and self-directed learning contextual factors, including pedagogy, ethics, scaling, research methodology and culture, and consequences of innocuous or harmful implementation and deployment the nature of participation by global capital, multinationals, education systems, international agencies, national governments, and telecoms companies. Scholars, academics, policymakers, and program managers are increasingly using mobile technologies to support disadvantaged or disempowered communities in learning more effectively and appropriately. This book's diverse research precedents will help these and other stakeholders meet the challenges and opportunities of our complex, increasingly connected world and work with greater cultural and ethical sensitivity at the intersection of education, research, and technology.

This guide to the ISTE Coaching Standards helps define the role of technology coaches and shows how their work connects to the ISTE Standards and learning sciences.The role of technology coaches in education constantly evolves and encompasses many responsibilities. Coaches inspire educators to improve learning outcomes through the integration of technology, ensuring accessible high-quality learning and lesson plans for all students. Technology coaches also model digital citizenship to support the interactions of educators and students in a digital world.This guide to the ISTE Standards for Coaches will help define the role of the coach; show how it relates to the roles addressed in the ISTE Standards for Students, Educators and Education Leaders; share information from research and the learning sciences relating to coaching cycles and methodologies; and present scenarios from coaches in diverse situations and with varied backgrounds.The guide focuses on:The role of educational technology coaches to transform learning, teaching and leading with technology.The coach as a key touchstone for change agency in the system to influence up, out and down.Professionalizing the coaching role, bringing coherence to how coaches relate to other educators and vice versa.Working with educators to ensure that technology is integrated in a meaningful way to promote the development of knowledge and skills.Audience: K-12 coaches

This guide provides district and school leaders an on-ramp for using the ISTE Standards to facilitate and implement change in their education systems.Education leaders play a central role in developing a culture of change and providing the conditions for innovation in schools, and that role varies by job title. District leaders make changes across multiple schools, principals lead change across their schools and teacher leaders guide change within and across grade levels. But no matter the role, a framework that identifies the knowledge and behaviors required for leaders to make student learning possible and for teachers to be empowered is a necessity.The ISTE Standards for Education Leaders offer a concrete framework to help leaders set goals and provide a vision for transformative systems change within educational institutions. The ISTE Standards for Educators and the ISTE Standards for Students are also used by leaders to provide holistic change with a shared vision and direction for all. Education Reimagined provides aspiring and established leaders an on-ramp for using the ISTE Standards to guide change in their educational systems.This booklet contains:Examples showing how those in specific leadership roles can use the ISTE Standards in their work.Reflection questions applicable to all leadership roles.Vignettes demonstrating how a variety of leaders in a diverse range of schools have embraced the ISTE Standards for Education Leaders.Explanation of other frameworks and standards that connect with and complement the ISTE Standards for Education Leaders.A crosswalk between the ISTE Essential Conditions and the ISTE Standards for Education Leaders.Strong leaders use the ISTE Standards for Educators and the ISTE Standards for Students in tandem with the ISTE Standards for Education Leaders to bring about holistic change with a shared vision and direction for all. Each set of standards is relevant to the education leader and is addressed throughout this booklet.Audience: School and district leaders
