Abstract
Current educational research, policy-making and practice needs to develop and sustain a rigorous understanding of and a careful attentiveness to multiple approaches to conceptualising and implementing effective educational technology innovation. This is required because it is important to avoid ossifying and standardising educational approaches and to renew and refresh those traditional approaches. It is also a useful response to politicised critiques of the outcomes of mass education and to efforts to increase educational outputs while decreasing funding levels. This chapter presents a theoretically informed interrogation of a range of contemporary scholarship related to educational innovations with technology. In particular, the interrogation explores major issues related to establishing innovative practices. In particular we cite the issues of policy, measurement, sustainability and diffusion of educational innovation. The final section of the chapter introduces the structure for the book.
