Grateful for having had the opportunity to collaborate with Ilkka Tuomi & Romina Cachia on a new science-for-policy report published by the European Commission: "On the Futures of Technology in Education" https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC134308
On the Futures of Technology in Education: Emerging Trends and Policy Implications

This report identifies key emerging technologies and discusses their potential impact in education. Drawing on academic research and grey literature, it focuses on a set of ongoing technical developments that could redefine education, and society at large, in fundamental ways. It provides insights into the affordances of those technologies and important societal implications, discussing how they may reconfigure education against the background of learning theory. It also takes into account the socio-material basis of digital technologies, as well as key factors —such as climate change, demographic transitions, environmental concerns and the growth of mental health problems among the young— that are shaping the emerging educational landscape. The report aims to go beyond the state-of-the-art and facilitate richer discussions on the potential impact of emerging technologies in education in order to support long-term strategic thinking. Based on that, it offers recommendations to ensure that future policy actions are aligned with the societal and educational needs.
