How Can Digital Education Contribute to A Pedagogy for Environmental Care?

Abstract

In this paper we unpack the theory and application of a pedagogy for environmental care and the place of digital technologies and interaction design within this pedagogy. The paper illustrates its application using exemplar projects, primarily drawn from primary education. We draw attention to the role of digital education in a place-based curriculum and discuss how teaching through local environments can contribute to understanding of global environmental issues and active participation locally and globally.
