<p>"<i>Bigum</i> and <i>Rowan</i> have put together a star collection of the most innovative researchers’ across the world. This will be a ‘must have’ book for anyone who knows anything about the field." <br /><i>Prof Bridget Somekh Manchester Metropolitan University</i></p>

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.

Goes well beyond usual 'how to use computers in schools' literature to ask bigger questions about the purpose of schooling Brings together scholars concerned with social justice AND technology Provides practical, small scale examples of how real educators in diverse contexts can work to transform students' relationships with both technology and learning
