Comments on Greenhow, Robelia, and Hughes: Digital Immersion, Teacher Learning, and Games

Ronald D. Owston

RONALD D. OWSTON is the director of the Institute for Research on Learning Technologies and a professor of education at York University, TEL 1029, 4700 Keele St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3J 1P3; rowston{at}edu.yorku.ca. He specializes in the evaluation of teaching and learning with technology.

In this comment article, the author elaborates on three significant issues that Greenhow, Robelia, and Hughes (2009) identified but did not explore. First, the author discusses the need for research on the impact that youth’s immersion in a digital world may have on meta-cognitive and social skill development. Then teacher learning with the Web is considered, and the author identifies research questions related to improving the design of professional learning experiences. The author concludes with a discussion of digital games for learning and points to several key areas that need further research.

Key Words: computers in education • technology • World Wide Web
