3. Slates “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 not be able to write.” ~Teachers Conference, 1703

4. Fountain Pens “Students today depend on these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib. We parents must not allow them to 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

5. Ballpoint Pens "Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices and then throw them away. The American virtues of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Business and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries." ~ Federal Teacher, 1950

7. NCTE 2008 Position Statement for 21st Century Literacies Twenty-first century readers and writers need to: Develop proficiency with the tools of technology Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments

8. IRA Position Statement onNew Literacies and 21st-Century Technologies (2009) Students have a right to: Teachers who use ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) skillfully for teaching and learning Peers who use ICTs responsibly and who share their knowledge A literacy curriculum that offers opportunities for collaboration with peers around the world Instruction that embeds critical and culturally sensitive thinking into practice Standards and assessments that include new literacies Leaders and policymakers who are committed advocates of ICTs for teaching and learning Equal access to ICTs

9. NCTM Position Statement onThe Role of Technology in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics (March 2008) Technology is an essential tool for learning mathematics in the 21st century, and all schools must ensure that all their students have access to technology. Effective teachers maximize the potential of technology to develop students’ understanding, stimulate their interest, and increase their proficiency in mathematics. When technology is used strategically, it can provide access to mathematics for all students.

10. NSTA Position Statement onThe Use of Computers in Science Education (1999) Just as computers play a central role in developing and applying scientific knowledge, they can also facilitate learning of science. It is therefore the position of the National Science Teachers Association that computers should have a major role in the teaching and learning of science. Computers have become an essential classroom tool for the acquisition, analysis, presentation, and communication of data in ways which allow students to become more active participants in research and learning. Tutorial and multimedia software should engage students in meaningful interactive dialogue and creatively employ graphics, sound, and simulations to promote acquisition of facts and skills, promote concept learning, and enhance understanding.

11. NCSS (2006)Technology Position Statement and Guidelines As an organization, we continually need to demonstrate and research how effective use of technology enhances social studies teaching and learning. The new technologies, for example, enable users to access, organize, and communicate information in ways unfathomable until recently.

12. Digital Literacies . . . however, are here to stay—they are at the core of new literacies—and educators should consider how to best weave together old, new, and future literacies so that young people leave school literate in the ways of school and the ways of the world (O’Brien & Scharber, 2008)
