Full Description
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.

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.
