Description of the Book:

The term “orchestration”, has been used to describe the teacher’s role in activity settings incorporating interactive technologies. This musical analogy suggests pre-planned manipulation of events to generate “performance” leading to learning. However, in two recent projects we have observed how effective teaching and learning is often based on serendipity and improvisation–characteristics more often associated with jazz. This paper explores how a jazz analogy can be useful when analysing classrooms in which serendipitous events were exploited and performances were improvised.
