Digital technology has a leveling effect.
Personal information about someone is not helpful in the education environment.
You don’t need to share information with your students in order to have a relationship with them.
Responsibility to educate students about technology.
Idea that smartphones need to have a learner’s permit.
Cell phones are the equivalent of high powered equipment that needs training and supervision.
