"Learning That Matters: Revitalising Heathcote's Rolling Role for the Digital Age" by Susan Davis explores the innovative educational philosophy of drama educator Dorothy Heathcote. The book discusses how Heathcote's "rolling role" technique, which emphasizes active participation and immersive learning, can be adapted for contemporary classrooms influenced by digital technology. Davis argues for a reimagining of this approach to create engaging, relevant experiences for students today. Through examples and practical applications, the book highlights the importance of making learning meaningful and resonant, inviting educators to embrace creative strategies that foster critical thinking and collaboration in the digital age.
