“ 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.” 2012 Huffington Post Resistance To Innovation

It’s not about the technology …. … it’s about new thinking.

Almost all the barriers are in our heads. We cannot change policy but we can change practice. The only barriers are in our heads!

Policy or Practice? "The reality is that the circumstances, rationale and representations for learning have changed....lets confront it "Richard Noss #altc2012
