Volume Editor:
Aside from celebrating the work of Marc J. de Vries, this book also highlights the need for further work, effort, and energy to improve learning about technology. It is a collection of essays written by experts from the philosophy of technology and education. They have written about their perspectives on how a future education about technology must better relate to the technologically textured world we now inhabit: a world in which the continuing exponential evolution of technology is affecting virtually every aspect of our lives. This book serves as a clarion call to all those responsible for school-based education.
