Review Quotes: 'Esteban-Guitart has written a bold and inspiring book of great importance to the field of learning in and out of school. An innovative approach is developed using the concept 'funds of identity' as an ecological approach to learning with unique educational experiences from Catalonia. I strongly recommend this book for people interested in core issues of education in our contemporary mobile-centric society and ways of understanding today's learners navigating in complex socio-technical networks.'
