Students bring their personal devices into formal learning spaces, but institutional infrastructure sometimes fails to support the use these new technologies.

We need a new set of pedagogies (and we also need to know how these can be supported with theory) if we are to maximise the impact of technology on education. In my 2015 book I wrote about ' new wine ' (technology) being forced into 'old wineskins' (conservative learning spaces and ideas) and warned of the inevitable failures.

We must try to engage parents more and make more opportunities for them to develop skills to support their child's education and personal development. Parents are the biggest influence in a child's life and we could support children far more if we provide far more support to parents. But hey, at least the holidays are good!

One of the new skills that teachers will need to master in the future will be the ability to manage virtual learning spaces.
