Children's uses of digital technologies are, therefore, currently of huge concern to academics, teachers and parents.<br/><br/><i>Disabled Children and Digital Technologies</i> investigates disabled children's learning with digital technologies within the context of inclusive education. Sue Cranmer explores the potential benefits of using digital technologies to support disabled children's learning whilst recognising that these technologies also have the potential to act as a barrier to inclusion. Cranmer provides a critical overview of how digital technologies are being used in contemporary classrooms for learning. The book includes detailed analysis of a recent study carried out with disabled children with visual impairments aged between 13 - 17 years old in mainstream secondary schools. The chapters consider the use of digital technologies in relation to access, engagement, attitudes, and skills, including safety and risk. These perspectives are complemented by interviews with teachers to explore how digital technologies can support disabled children's learning and inclusion in mainstream settings more effectively.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sue Cranmer</b> is Lecturer in Digital Education and Social Justice at Lancaster University, UK.
