In my role as an academic dean, I am part of our school’s leadership team and have a seat at the decision-making table. As an educator parent, I’m constantly juggling my commitments to my students and to my own children and I’m not alone. What’s worse? Sometimes a parent isn’t unwilling.

“I like to have kids talk in class, to me and to each other, about how they’re trying to figure out a problem,” Young said in an interview, and that makes for an ambivalent relationship with education technology.
