Future thoughts...

17. Future thoughts...
“If we are concerned to create educational practices that work
towards the common good and towards sustainable futures, then
our first concern must be to attend to the causes of existing
injustices, individualisation and unsustainability and to proceed
from there. While digital technology can be an adjunct to this wider
work, digital technology alone is not capable of creating
sustainable educational futures.”
(Facer & Selwyn 2021)
