Description: 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.
