Digital Technologies and performative pedagogies: Repositioning the visual
“Images are becoming a primary means of information presentation in the digitized global media and digital technologies have emancipated and democratized the image. This allows for the reproduction and manipulation of images on a scale never seen before and opens new possibilities for teachers schooled in critical visuality. This paper reports on an innovative pre-service teacher training course in which a cross-curricula cohort of secondary teachers employed visual performative competencies to produce a series of learning objects on a digital platform. The resulting intertextual narratives demonstrate that the manipulation of image and text offered by digital technologies create a powerful vehicle for investigating knowledge and understandings, evolving new meaning and awakening latent creativity in the use of images for meaning making. This research informs the New Literacies and multimodal fields of enquiry and argues that visuality is integral to any pedagogy that purports to be relevant to the contemporary learner. It argues that the visual has been significantly under-valued as a conduit for knowledge acquisition and meaning making in the digital environment and supports the claim that critical literacy, interactivity, experimentation and production are vital to attaining the tenets of transformative education (Buckingham, 2007; Walsh, 2007; Cope & Kalantzis, 2008).”

Réussir l’école numérique – Rapport de la mission parlementaire de Jean-Michel Fourgous, député des Yvelines, sur la modernisation de l’école par le numérique
“Selon une enquête de la Commission européenne parue en 2006, la France arrive en 21ème position sur les 27 pays membres de l’Union européenne en ce qui concerne l’utilisation des ordinateurs en classe. Alors que tous les secteurs ont intégré le numérique et que la “fracture numérique matérielle” a été divisée par deux depuis 2000, les établissements scolaires accusent toujours un retard dans l’utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC).”
