Technological Edgework: Moving Toward Transformative Technology Integration

TechEdges hosts the research projects and products of Dr. Joan E. Hughes and graduate student researchers from The University of Texas at Austin. Her research focuses on understanding technology integration in PK-12 schools. She works across boundaries to better understand the phenomenon. For example, her current case study project seeks perspectives from school leaders, teachers, and students who report about themselves and each other in and outside the school context. She also breaks down transition boundaries, such as what preservice teachers face as they become novice teachers in classrooms. Enacting transformative technology integration involves many risks to those involved, and our work attempts to reveal the edges from which we may discover new possibilities for learning and teaching with technology.
