We consider what a concern for social justice in terms of social inclusion might mean for teacher education, both practising
and prospective, with particular reference to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in mathematics education
taking place at a borderland school. Our discussion proceeds through the following steps: (1) We explore what a borderland
position might denote to address what social inclusion might mean. (2) We consider the significance of mathematics education
and the use of ICT for processes of social inclusion. (3) We briefly refer to the Interlink Network, as many of our observations
emerge as reflections on this project. (4) We present different issues that will be of particular importance with respect
to teacher education if we want to establish a mathematics education for social inclusion. These issues concern moving away
from the comfort zone, establishing networks, identifying new approaches, moving beyond prototypical research, and getting
in contact. This brings us to (5) final considerations, where we return to the notion of social justice.
