Technology, a means not an end

"Despite the abundance of devices, online content and tools today, many classrooms struggle to make full use of digital technologies. Technology must be interwoven with a holistic approach that considers all relevant aspects, in particular pedagogical practices and training, to prevent it from being misunderstood as a standalone factor."

There, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expre…
