  2. DEFENSE LANGUAGE INSTITUTE In the winter of 1813, I attended a school in Boston where I was struck at the appearance of a black, board suspended on the Wall. I had never heard of such a thing before.

May, Abolitionist, 1855

  16. Pause for thought How should we supersede the classroom of the past with the classroom of the future? What difference does it make psychologically, socially and politically to teach with a Smart Board? How do we assess the ways a new technologically delivered class is redefining intangible and tangible skills? What are the risks of over exposure?
