Summary

Technology curricula are evolving at a rate of perhaps no other school subject, as a result of innovations within technology itself and due to new visions about technology education, such as described in this book. Moreover, education as a whole is constantly reinventing itself in new societal contexts, such as increased cultural diversity. In this chapter, these changes intermingle. It is a story about a school where most students had a migrant background and where a new design-based technology curriculum was introduced. We use this story to arrive at four considerations for teachers, researchers and curriculum developers who are concerned with inclusive technology education for the future.
