Technology is about creativity and innovation. It is about how we intervene with our world using design, and how our world intervenes with, influences, and changes (even designs) us. Technology learning is about gaining a deep insight into our world, being analytical and accountable for the decisions we make as we intervene, asking always, “if we can do something, should we?”
