To what extent, and in what ways, is it possible to future proof children for a largely unknown and unknowable world? This is the key question addressed by this book. Recognising both what has changed-the social and technological contexts of schooling-and what hasn't changed-patterns of educational success and failure-the authors showcase practical examples of how educators throughout the world can use diverse technologies to empower diverse students and their communities for unknown, and unknowable futures.
Klappentext zu „Transformative Approaches to New Technologies and Student Diversity in Futures Oriented Classrooms “
In this book we outline an optimistic, aspirational and unashamedly ambitious agenda for schooling. We make cautious use of the concept of 'future proofing' to signal the commitment of the various authors to re-thinking the purposes, content and processes of schooling with a view to ensuring that all children, from all backgrounds are prepared by their education to make a positive contribution to the futures that are ahead of them. The book focuses on issues relating to technology and social justice to re-examine the traditional relationship between schools and technology, between schools and diverse learners, and between schools, children and knowledge. Drawing from examples from around the world, the book explores practical ways that diverse schools have worked to celebrate diverse understandings of what it means to be a learner, a citizen, a worker in these changed and changing times and the ways different technologies can support this agenda.
