Description

Engaging the Rewired Brain explores how the increasing presence of digital technology is influencing the way students think, learn, pay attention, remember information, and interact socially. The book is designed for educators, school leaders, and parents who want to understand the effects of technology on the developing brain and adapt teaching strategies to support today’s learners.

The book draws on principles of educational neuroscience to explain how experiences, especially frequent exposure to digital devices, can shape neural pathways. It examines both the challenges and opportunities created by technology, emphasizing ways educators can use technology effectively while maintaining practices that promote deep thinking, engagement, creativity, and meaningful learning.

The second edition provides updated discussions on topics such as artificial intelligence, gaming, the effects of the pandemic on learning, attention, memory, social behavior, and strategies for creating more effective technology-supported learning environments.
