Or if John Dewey, who promoted "habits of mind" in relation to disciple-based pedagogy i.e., biology teachers have special and unique ways of teaching the "knowledge of biology" (or the ontology of biology) because the practice of biology is unique (in relation to other domains e.g., literature, sewing, algebra, etc.), would figure teaching and learning with (and about) technology as its own habit of mind? Or if teaching and learning with technology is simply a set of skills that add value to a teacher's other so-called habits of mind?
