Best practices
The Technology Impact Cycle Tool can be used in any possible way. The tool does not force you to take certain steps. On this page we offer three different sets of best practices to inspire you and to help you use the tool.
The best practices are called: The Designer, The Teacher and The Critic. All best practices have a short description, example user story, an indication of the time required and target audience.
Best Practices will be updated on a regular basis. If you have a suggestion for a best practice do not hesitate to contact us.
-
The Designer
You are the designer or inventor of a new technology (or part of a team). Maybe you are designing an app. Maybe something completely different. Your technology is intended to solve a problem. You want to be as sure as possible that the technology will have the impact you intended.
-
The Teacher
You are a teacher educating students on (their relation with) technology. Maybe you teach app-development and want to teach how to think harder about the impact of technology. Maybe you teach health care and want your students to think about using technology effectively. Maybe you want to organize a beginner course. Maybe you just want to make your students aware of the impact of technology and change their mindset.
-
The Critic
You are a journalist, or a worried citizen, or just an interested user. Maybe you are a member of the local council. You want to be able to structurally think about the impact of technology or your relation with technology. You want to be able to discuss the impact of technology in depth and/or ask critical questions.
