6. Chalkboards
Prior to chalkboards all students had slate boards. The
teacher was required to write the lesson on each one.
By 1853 chalkboards were widely used in classrooms
across America. It was the beginning of mass
education.

8. Visual Instruction Movement - 1910
During the Visual Instruction Movement,
film, slides and photographs were used
in schools to educate students.
The motion picture projector became
one of the first technological devices
used in schools.
Thomas Edison predicted in 1913 that
books would become obsolete and the
motion picture would become the
primary medium of teaching. Of course,
that prediction was incorrect.

9. AUDIO – Radio - 1925
New York City’s Board of
Education was actually
the first organization to
send lessons to schools
through a radio station.
Over the next couple of
decades, “schools of the
air” began broadcasting
programs to millions of
American students.

10. AUDIO Innovations
2012
iPod Touch
1950’s
Based on the theory of “repetitive drill”
schools began to install listening stations
that used headphones and audio tapes.
Most were used in what were dubbed
‘language labs’ and this practice is still in
use today, except now computers are used
instead of audio tapes.
Thousands of educational
podcasts are available in
iTunes. You can even create
your own.

11. Television – 50’s
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) decided to set
aside 242 educational channels.
The Ford Foundation spent $170
million for educational instruction.
The only content was teachers giving
lectures.
Money ran out…no more push for
televisions.

24. Standards vs. Curriculum
Clear Interpretation of Standards
People often confuse standards with curriculum. "Standards are broad statements of
expectation of what our students should know and be able to do in order to succeed
in college“
• Should encompass higher order thinking skills and skills of collaboration and
communication
• Standards Driven Instruction
• National Standards
Curriculum Maps
Local districts will still be responsible for developing their own curriculums to meet
those goals.
