SLATES
“Students today can’t 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 breaks? They will not be able to write.”
~Teachers Conference, 1703
FOUNTAIN PENS
“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.”
~ PTA Gazette, 1914
BALLPOINT PENS
"Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices and then throw them away. The American virtues of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Business and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries."
~ Federal Teacher, 1950

Multi-Modal Literacies*The techniques of acquiring,
organizing, evaluating, and creatively using multimodal information should become an increasingly important component of the English/Language Arts classroom.
IRA POSITION STATEMENT ONINTEGRATING LITERACY AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE CURRICULUM (2002)
The Internet and other forms of information and communication technology (ICT) are redefining the nature of literacy. To become fully literate in today’s world, students must become proficient in the new literacies of ICT. Therefore, literacy educators have a responsibility to integrate these technologies into their literacy curricula.
NCTM POSITION STATEMENT ONTHE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS (MARCH 2008)
Technology is an essential tool for learning mathematics in the 21st century, and all schools must ensure that all their students have access to technology. Effective teachers maximize the potential of technology to develop students’ understanding, stimulate their interest, and increase their proficiency in mathematics. When technology is used strategically, it can provide access to mathematics for all students.
NSTA POSITION STATEMENT ONTHE USE OF COMPUTERS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION (1999)Just as computers play a central role in developing and applying scientific knowledge, they can also facilitate learning of science. It is therefore the position of the National Science Teachers Association that computers should have a major role in the teaching and learning of science. Computers have become an essential classroom tool for the acquisition, analysis, presentation, and communication of data in ways which allow students to become more active participants in research and learning.
NCSS (2006)TECHNOLOGY POSITION STATEMENT AND GUIDELINESAs an organization, we continually need to demonstrate and research how effective use of technology enhances social studies teaching and learning. The new technologies, for example, enable users to access, organize, and communicate information in ways unfathomable until recently.
DIGITAL LITERACIES
. . . however, are here to stay—they are at the core of new literacies—and educators should consider how to best weave together old, new, and future literacies so that young people leave school literate in the ways of school and the ways of the world (O’Brien & Scharber, 2008)

be bathed in bits since birth.• Because of their access to the digital
media, today’s students learn, work, think, shop, and create differently than their parents.

DIGITAL STUDENTS
* Connected Stance toward learning* By providing digital students with opportunities to learn in ways that satisfy their needs, (i.e. vocabulary instruction) they will be more engaged in the learning process and in realizing their potential.
