CALL FOR CHAPTER
The Roles of Technology and Globalization in Educational Transformation
A book edited by Dr. Blessing Foluso Adeoye (Walden University, USA), and Dr. Gladys Arome (Walden University, USA)
Introduction
Technology has become a sociopolitical force around the world. There are many reasons for this; the obvious one is that technological change is the main source of new areas of profitable accumulation of wealth. The educational institutions play roles in helping to facilitate the complex maneuvers by which the accumulation circuit works. Also, computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. Information Communication Technology can be used in many different ways, and how it is integrated into educational settings depends largely on teachers' instructional goals and strategies. Computer networks are also the technological foundation that has allowed the emergence of global network capitalism, that is, regimes of accumulation, regulation, and discipline that are helping to increasingly base the accumulation of economic, political, and cultural capital on transnational network organizations that make use of cyberspace and other new technologies for global coordination and communication.
Objective of the Book
