“ Students today cannot 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 is
broken? They will be unable to
write.”
1703 Teachers’ Conference
Resistance To Innovation
“ Students today depend on paper
too much. They do not know how to
write on slate without getting chalk
dust on themselves. They cannot
clean a slate properly. What will they
do when they run out of paper?”
1815 Principals’ Publication
Resistance To Innovation
“ Students today depend too much on
ink. They do not know how to use a
penknife to sharpen a pencil. Pen
and ink will never replace the pencil.”
National Association 1907
Resistance To Innovation
“ Students today depend on store
bought ink. They do not 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.”
1928 USA Teacher
Resistance To Innovation
“ 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.”
1941 PTA Gazette
Resistance To Innovation
“ Ball point pens will be the ruin of
education in our country. Students
use these devices and throw them
away! The American values of thrift
and frugality are being discarded.
Business and banks will never allow
such expensive luxuries.”
1950 Federal Teachers
Resistance To Innovation
“ Computers give students an unfair
advantage. Therefore students who
use computers to analyse data or
create displays will be eliminated
from the Science Fair.”
1988 Science Fair Judge – Apple Classroom of Tomorrow
Resistance To Innovation
“ Education as we know it is being
reformed and for the worse. More
and more schools are shuffling kids
into computer labs and knowledge is
being left at the door.”

It’s not about the technology ….
… it’s about new thinking.
The only barriers are in our heads!
Almost all the barriers are in
our heads.
We cannot change policy but
we can change practice.
Policy or Practice?

circumstances, rationale and
representations for learning
have changed....lets confront it
