<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book investigates disabled children's learning with digital technologies such as mobile devices and the internet. Sue Cranmer explores the ways in which digital technologies can support or act as barriers to disabled children's learning and inclusion in mainstream schools, drawing on international persepctives and the results of a recent study of 13-17 year old disabled students and their teachers in mainstream schools"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>There is much evidence to show that digital technologies greatly impact children's lives through the use of computers, laptops and mobile devices. 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. She is co-author of <i>Primary Schools and ICT</i> (2010).
