I found it refreshing and the concepts so well supported. An informative and very practical guide.

Clarity of one’s pedagogical beliefs is critical to ensure that beliefs do not go against our actions. “What do you think knowledge is? How do you think people learn? What do you see the role of the teacher as being? Only when you are clear about those sorts of questions should you begin to consider whether and/or how using digital technology (or other resources) might be the best way to help you to achieve the desired learning outcomes.”
100% recommend to anyone currently working in education to go back to core principles and open conversation with colleagues about how these core elements ultimately impact what students make of education in general.

Fantastic book that made me consider my own beliefs and practices.
