Abstract

Abstract: A chance observation in a staff training session led to a series of action research projects, which dug into why some educators are digitally resistant whilst others, however experienced, are not. The Education and Training Foundation-funded FAB Projects have so far spanned three years and three small-scale research investigations and are ongoing. They have had significant positive impact on the teaching of digital literacy in our organisation and they provide a template for thinking differently about how we teach technology – and other skills – in a digitally connected world.
