Learners and technology: enabled but not empowered?

As learning technologists, are we helping learners to be sufficiently critical of the tools they are using? We may be enabling students to use technology but are we empowering them to make informed choices? We should encourage learners to be as constructively critical of the nature of the technologies they use as the academic literature they read. This means thinking about business models as much as function and safeguarding.
