According to Dave Cormier, "When we identify the technology and not the people beyond we missed the systemic cultural practices that are helping to shape the people who are the bad actors on those platforms." Technology may be an enabler, but it's the people who actually behave one way or another. That's why "we need our schools to replicate models of inclusivity and equity that are not about the imposition of conformity. That means that we accept people the way they come in the door, and we help them come up with answers that belong to them." Image: ThoughtCo.
