18. "For years, the conversation about mobile
and social technology in schools has
revolved around how to block it," said NASSP
Executive Director Gerald N. Tirozzi. "But it's
becoming increasingly clear that simply
blocking such technologies does students a
disservice. An education that fails to account
for the responsible use of mobile devices and
social networks prepares students for our
past, but not for their future."
