Abstract
The sketches in the fifth chapter, ‘Educational Tools’, allow us to address the issue of the particularity of the ‘educational’ through an exploration of the question: what makes tools, taken in a very general sense as practices and technologies, into educational tools? The sketches explore what makes the use of words through speech educational (‘Lingua Scholae’ and ‘School Talk’) and seek to describe how writing (‘Tunnel Vision’), drawing and imaging (‘Diagram’ and ‘Screen Experiments’), and mapping (‘Mapping Mooc’) become educational.
