This book provides a one stop shop for those interested in teaching about disruptive technologies as part of a wide variety of school subjects. It explores the technologies that are likely to have a profound influence on our society in the coming years and offers advice and guidance on how to devise, teach and assess a relevant curriculum.

Divided into two parts, the first examines the nature of disruption that technologies cause. It describes in depth what each technology does, how it works, who uses it and what for, and how this might be disruptive along with positive and negative implications. The technologies include:
- additive manufacture
- artificial intelligence
- augmented reality
- Big Data
- Internet of Things
- quantum computing
- programmable matter
- neurotechnology
- robotics
- synthetic biology.

Part two suggests practical ways teachers could 'Look Sideways' and collaborate to teach and assess learners aged 11-18 in these disruptive technologies so that they can successfully take up new employment opportunities and contribute fully to the debate of how those technologies affect our society.
Offering comprehensive guidance on the teaching, learning and assessment of disruptive technologies, this will be valuable reading for teachers, school leaders, teacher educators and those responsible for curriculum development.

Frank Banks is Emeritus Professor of Teacher Education at The Open University, where he was Director of International Teacher Education and led the innovative online flexible initial teacher education programmes.
