Hi Ciara,
Thank you for your post. ‘Futureproofing’ is a buzz word that is used in many professions these days. However, it is equally applicable for use in relation to teaching and education. We must attempt to create a learning environment that is robust and capable of handling future developments in technology. Technology is evolving rapidly, and as you have said, students are ahead of the curve in many ways. It’s so important (but not easy) that teachers have the requisite level of knowledge in this area to challenge students and to ensure the safe and constructive use of digital technologies is provided for.
