David Jonassen’s definition of technology is the one that resonated most with me. I believe a good deal of life is about cooperating and collaborating with our environment, which includes technology. This dynamic of collaboration is enriching and more fulfilling than some of the sci-fi or gloomy forecasts that worry about technology taking over the world. As a teacher I work to enrich my students’ learning experiences, so Jonassen’s (2000) definition and analogy of mind tools or intellectual tools was meaningful.
