We need tour guides.
In American education, we call them instructional technology integrators, technologists, ITRTS (Instructional Technology Resource Teachers), or a variety of other terms. These specialized tour guides must be multifaceted and able to stand on either side of the fence: above all, they should be experienced, recognized master teachers (not IT personnel) in order to understand the pedagogy and learning theory required to meet curriculum objectives; yet, at the same time, they should be technologically savvy enough to seamlessly incorporate the complexities of technology into an educational setting.

Das Nachdenken über gutes Lernen und Lehren muss von den Menschen ausgehen — nicht von den Tools. Neue Technologien allein machen keinen guten oder gar besseren Unterricht. Gute Lehrer machen guten Unterricht — ob mit Technologie oder ohne.

# Faktenwissen ist wertlos.
# Standardisierte Bildung ist arme Bildung.
# Nicht für die Schule, für das Leben lernen wir.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German writer and poet (1749-1832) wrote 1809 in his book “Wahlverwandtschaften”:
Es ist schlimm genug, daß man jetzt nichts mehr für sein ganzes Leben lernen kann. Unsere Vorfahren hielten sich an den Unterricht, den sie in ihrer Jugend empfangen; wir aber müssen jetzt alle fünf Jahre umlernen, wenn wir nicht ganz aus der Mode kommen wollen.
which means in translation
It is bad enough that one cannot learn anymore for the rest of one’s life. Our ancestors were able to hold on to the education they received in their youth; instead we must relearn every five years, if we want to keep up with the times.
