  • I’m entirely with you on this, but schools are notorious for just banning/hating tools instead of teaching how to properly use the appropriate tools at your disposal. This is just going to be another tool to add to that pile.

    When you never teach students how to properly use tools, the most frequent use you see will be improper or cheating. This just makes schools feel more justified in banning tools.

    I personally think it would be a lot more beneficial not to ban tools, but to actually use tools as a part of education. Tools in many different forms are going to be present throughout life, and while it’s important to understand the core material without the need for assistive tools, it’s also important to know how to use assistive tools.

    But I don’t have any evidence for this, it’s just an opinion formed by what I’ve seen, experienced, and heard corroborated by others.
