SPEAKING OF HANDWRITING
From a Principal’s publication in 1815:
“Students today depend on paper too much.
They don’t know how to write on a slate
without getting chalk dust all over
themselves. What will they do when they run
out of paper?”
SPEAKING OF HANDWRITING
From the National Teachers
Association in 1905:
“Students today depend too much on ink.
They don’t know how to use a pen knife
to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never
replace the pencil.”

SPEAKING OF HANDWRITING
From Rural American Teacher 1928:
“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 until their next trip to the
settlement. This is a sad commentary on
modern education.”
SPEAKING OF HANDWRITING
From PTA Gazette 1941:
“Students today depend on those expensive
fountain pens. We parents must not allow
them to wallow in such luxury and to the
detriment of their learning.”
SPEAKING OF HANDWRITING
From Federal Teachers 1950:
“Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education
in our country. Students use these devices
then throw them away. The values of thrift
and frugality are being discarded. Businesses
and banks will never allow such expensive
luxuries.”

This far surpasses the frequency with which they pick other forms
of daily communication
• including phone calling by cell phone (39% do that with others
every day);
• face-to-face socializing outside of school (35%);
• social network site messaging (29%);
• instant messaging (22%);
• talking on landlines (19%);
• emailing (6%)

SO WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TALK
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SOCIAL
NETWORKING SHOULD BE
PERMITTED IN SCHOOL?

ACCORDING TO THE URBAN DICTIONARY
DRAMA CAN BE DEFINED AS:
A way of relating to the world in which a person consistently overreacts to or greatly exaggerates the
importance of benign events.
Typically "drama" is used by people who are chronically bored or those who seek attention.
People who engage in "drama" will usually attempt to drag other people into their dramatic state, as a way
of gaining attention or making their own lives more exciting.
Common warning signs/ risk factors of drama or a dramatic person are:
1. Having one supposedly serious problem after another.
2. Constantly telling other people about one's problems.
3. Extreme emotionality or frequently shifting, intense emotions.
4. Claiming to have experienced negative events that are highly implausible.
5. A boring job or mundane life.
6. Making claims without sufficient evidence or a lack of detail about supposedly serious events.
7. A pattern of irrational behavior and reactions to everyday problems.
ALSO ACCORDING TO THE URBAN
DICTIONARY, AND BY FAR MY FAVORITE
DEFINITION:
Started Wednesday when Jessica told Amber that Tasha's shirt is so cute, but Amber hates Tasha so Amber
told Vicky that Jessica said that Tasha's shirt was just so ugly that she couldn't stand the sight of it and her.
The next day, at the infamous MeanGirl lunch table, Tasha splashes her iced tea on Jessica for calling her a
&%^@?)&! as told to her by Greg who was told by Kaylee who was told by Tony who was told by Jessica's
Cousin Felicia, who was told by Ashley who was told by Vicky who was told by Amber. That was the day
wars begun and a 17-day riot took over the school.
Drama never ends, its only a cycle that gets reborn because Amber still won't forgive Tasha for whatever
the heck she did.

“The Arab world has experienced an awakening of free expression that has now entered the body politic of Tunisia and
Egypt and has helped break down the stranglehold of state-sponsored media and information monopolies in those
countries. Indeed, from Morocco to Bahrain, the Arab world has witnessed the rise of an independent vibrant social
media and steadily increasing citizen engagement on the Internet that is expected to attract 100 million Arab users
by 2015. These social networks inform, mobilize, entertain, create communities, increase transparency, and seek to hold
governments accountable.
To peruse the Arab social media sites, blogs, online videos, and other digital platforms is to witness what is arguably the
most dramatic and unprecedented improvement in freedom of expression, association, and access to information
in contemporary Arab history.” – Social Media in the Arab World. A Report to the Center for International Media Assistance by Jeffrey Ghannam.

IN USING SOCIAL MEDIA, WE ENGAGE THE
POWER OF MILLIONS OF MINDS AS
TEACHERS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
WHY IS SOCIAL MEDIA SO POPULAR?
1. IT’S FREE (WELL SORTA)
2. IT CUTS DOWN ON ISOLATION
3. BUILDING TOLERANCE AND
UNDERSTANDING OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY.
4. IT CAN AMPLIFY PASSION.
5. THE WORLD OF EDUCATION IS (AND
NEEDS TO BE) MORE OPEN.
