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 be unable to

write!


Principal’s Association

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.

They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run

out of paper?


National Association of Teachers

1907


Students today depend too much upon ink. They don’t know how to

use a pen knife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never

replace the pencil.


The 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 words or ciphers until their

next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern

education.


PTA Gazette

1941


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.


Federal Teachers

1950


Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country.

Students use these devices and then throw them away. The

American values of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Business and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.


High School Math Teacher

1980


You can’t use those calculators on the test. If I let you do that, you

wouldn’t ever learn how to use the tables in the back of the book and use interpolation to figure out your

trig ratios.


Middle School Math Teacher

1989


We can’t let them use calculators in middle school. If we do, they’ll

forget how to do long division or how to multiply three

digit numbers by three digit numbers. What will they do when they don’t have

access to a calculator?


High School Math Teacher

1993


Why are you writing a grant for a classroom set of graphing

calculators? We’ll never be allowed to use them and – even if we can – that’s only one class, and parents

in other classes will never buy them for their students.


District Employee

1995


Why would you ever want the Internet for student use? It’s just the latest fad – have them use the

library.


District Employee

1995


You don’t need a web page. Who’s ever going to look at it?


Teacher on a District Committee

1996


Teachers will never use email.


Building Administrator

1999


Why do you want network drops at every teacher’s desk? You’re not thinking of getting a computer

for all of them are you?


Member of School Accountability Committee

1999


What can you do with an LCD Projector that you can’t do with an

overhead projector?


Member of Laptop Committee

2000


Why are we talking about students having laptops in high school? I

don’t think most parents will even give their kids their old computer,

much less buy them a new one.


Teacher

2001


Why would I want to put my grades on the web? Who’s going to look at

them?


Teacher

Spring 2005


I don’t think we’ll have a wireless network at our school

anytime soon.


Signs around high schools, colleges and universities.

Fall 2006


Turn off and put away all Cell Phones, iPods, and Electronic

Devices during class!

Immediate feedback for faculty


The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that today’s learner will have 10-14

jobs . . . .

By the age of 38.


According to the U.S. Department of Labor . . . .

1 out of 4 workers today is working for a company they

have been employed by for less that one year.


More than 1 out of 2 are working for a company they have worked for for less

than five year.


According to former Secretary of Education Richard Riley . . . .

The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 didn’t exist in 2004.


We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist . . . .

Using technologies that haven’t been invented . . .

In order to solve problems we don’t even

know are problems yet.Ivy Tech Community College2nd Annual Adjunct Faculty ConferenceColumbus CampusApril 19th, 2008 Presenter: Dr. Scott Rahschulte, DC

How can we educate these students effectively?


PROBLEM BASED LEARNING

“fill the bucket and measure its contents.”Keith Devlin, Stanford University

“students have to learn how to be creative problem solvers who can work in collaborative groups… think critically, use technology efficiently, and communicate effectively”

John Whitsett


PROBLEM BASED LEARNING

“intentional learners who can adapt to new environments, integrate knowledge from different sources, and continue learning throughout their lives”

Riordan


What does the future hold for education???
