Replied to Kenny Pieper on Twitter: "I use G**gle Classroom and MS OneNote but should we not be more concerned that these huge multinational tech companies are seeping in to our every day classrooms? Always at the back of my mind." by @kennypieper (twitter.com)

I wonder if we should spend some time explaining to pupils why we choose the tools we use, the affordances of said tools and the drawbacks. In the case of “free” tools why companies give them away. I don’t believe we think about these reasons in enough depth.
