By using the interaction navigator and its guiding questions, one can reflect on personal journeys and find ways to improve such journeys over time. The practice of using the Interaction Navigator in different language courses proved to make a notorious pull for tech solutions to scaffold learning experiences. In this exhibition, we invite participants to use the tool to reflect on their own practices in order to find possible "pulls for tech" for improving their daily practices.
