This thesis investigates how digitalisation impacts school as a place to work and learn byexploring how a few teachers experience digital tools and platforms in their daily work andteaching, both when reflecting upon current state and thinking about the future. A widerperspective of digitalisation in society and education is added by interviewing a learningstrategist as well as including other material covering the current debate. The analysis is guidedby six futural orientations (anticipation, expectation, speculation, potentiality, hope anddestiny) shown in the activities, leaning on a theoretical framework of anthropology of future,work and technology, human agency and intersubjectivity, humanity in a digital age as well asteacher’s role and identities. Hence uncovering examples of how lifeworlds are created andevolve in a school setting, human agency and shifting identities as a teacher manifesting itselfwhen managing conflicting priorities or faulty processes, and how to make sense of beinghuman in a digital age with an awareness of digital wellbeing.
