Heidegger
“One, Technology is a means to an end; it is an “instrument” to meet our needs. Second, Technology is a human activity. These two statements about technology are interconnected “for to posit ends and procure and utilize the means to them is a human activity.”’
- Mike’s Class

“Cross said she and her husband, Glenn Cross, and the couple's three school-age children went to bed early Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Before turning in, the youngsters played board games and finished their homework by firelight. "Just like Abe Lincoln," Glenn Cross said.”
- Chicago Tribune 1996

Once students get to pick their own tools, and choose their own representations they are liberated humans. And then we can collaborate, rather than oppress.
