  3. You have to choose: technological progress or Luddism

  4. “Combating technocentrism involves more than thinking about technology” — Seymour

    Papert

  5. “The purpose of computer criticism is not to condemn…” —

    Seymour Papert

  6. Ed-tech criticism as activism, as tactic — connected to critical

    thinking, critical making, critical pedagogy
