HOW DOES THIS IMPACT STUDENTS? Tim Magner (US Department of Education) (4:57) “ One of the areas technology can really play a role is in being globally aware, in giving our students that international perspective so they understand that the idea of being globally competitive is not necessarily the same thing as being the first one to the finish line.” cooperating with folks around the globe take advantage of opportunities around the world learning a language understanding a culture being able to connect and create a relationship with people whose worldview is very different from our own

TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES IN EDUCATION “ Students today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates which are more expensive. What will they do if the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will not be able to write.” Teacher Conference, 1703 “ Students today depend upon paper too much. They don't know how to write on 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 “ Students today depend on these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib. We parents cannot let them wallow in such luxury to the detriment of learning how to cope in the real business world which is not so extravagant.” PTA Gazette, 1914 “ 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. Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive items.” Federal Teachers, 1950
