Franklin's idea on prescriptive technology and its relation to education

Since, students in prescriptive technology play a different role in the process of producing something, Franklin states that” technologies are designs for compliance” (Franklin, 1990). However, technology is a multifaceted entity that acts as an agent of ordering and structuring. I see that it is used in schools in a way that launches students into cooperative learning, where a positive effect can happen to students’ empathy, tolerance for differences and self-confidence.
