This document discusses the importance of focusing on the student experience when using technology in the classroom rather than the technology itself. It advocates for creating a participatory culture where students' contributions matter and they are supported in creating and sharing their work with others. It also questions who the intended audience is for student work and cites Ben Shneiderman's concept of "Leonardo's Laptop" which emphasized empowering students as creators and contributors.
