🤔Interesting metaphor:
To frame our approach to integrating technology in education, we found inspiration in this metaphor that captures the kind of human-centered, supportive relationship that educators should have with technological tools.
As the U.S. Department of Education states, "We envision a technology-enhanced future more like an electric bike and less like robot vacuums. On an electric bike, the human is fully aware and fully in control, but their burden is less, and their effort is multiplied by a complementary technological enhancement. Robot vacuums do their job, freeing the human from involvement or oversight."
