Abstract
This chapter focuses on how digital technology is integrated within a one-year preservice Postgraduate Certificate of Education programme (PGCE) for teachers of English for Secondary aged students (aged 11–19) at the University of Leicester in the UK. It explores some of the affordances and challenges that technology offers beginning teachers who are developing subject and pedagogic knowledge and their critical digital engagement in their placement classrooms. The focus is primarily on practical examples of poetry teaching and learning.
