5. November 2004 Copyright © 2004 Stevens Institute of Technology Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education "Remarkable new technology is introduced into the school system and experts predict education will be revolutionized.

Yet, the magic fails to materialize, and within a few years articles appear in the popular press asserting that the failure obviously arises from the teachers not being skilled enough in the new technology." Excerpts from the New York Times in an article by Peter Lewis in the 1840’s describing the introduction of the blackboard.
