The revised version of the November INSET presentation I used.
Version one had some font problems and also some of the slides were formatted wrongly... serves me right for using a ppt file!
9. Students today can’t prepare bark
to calculate their problems. They
depend on their slates which are
more expensive. What will they do
when the slate is dropped and it
breaks? They will be unable to write!
TEACHER’s CONFERENCE
1703
10. Students today depend on paper too
much. They don’t know how to write
on a slate without getting chalk
dust all over themselves. They can’t
clean a slate properly. What will
they do when they run out of paper?
PRINCIPAL’s ASSOCIATION
1815
11. Students today depend too much
upon ink. They don’t know how to
use a pen-knife to sharpen a pencil.
Pen and ink will never replace the
pencil.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TEACHERS
1907
12. Students today depend upon store
bought ink. They don’t know how to
make their own. When they run out
of ink they will be unable to write
words or ciphers until their next trip
to the settlement. This is a sad
commentary on modern education.
THE RURAL AMERICAN TEACHER
1928
13. Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education
in our country. Students use these devices
and then throw them away. The American
values of thrift and frugality are being
discarded. Business and banks will never
allow such expensive luxuries.
FEDERAL TEACHERS

15. Why are you writing a grant for a
classroom set of graphing calculators?
We’ll never be allowed to use them
and – even if we can – that’s only one
class, and parents in other classes will
never buy them for their students.
HIGH SCHOOL MATHS TEACHER
1993
16. Why do you want network points at
every teacher’s desk? You’re not
thinking of getting a computer for
all of them are you?
BUILDING ADMINISTRATOR
1996
17. I don’t think we’ll have a
wireless network at Perth Academy
anytime soon.
An Assistant Rector

all Cell Phones, iPods,
and Electronic Devices
during class!”

• In an online world, the ability to
read and write becomes more
important than it has been at
any other time in human
history...
