Does using new tools allow for new learning? Are there new tools that change the landscape of information that is available? Are there tools that are so significant that they allow students to learn things in new ways that would not have access to without them?

New tools are important. New tools give us access to information we wouldn’t have without them. New tools give our students the ability to share, to network and learn in ways they wouldn’t have without them.

I ought also to say here that the preceding remarks as well as those which follow are made upon the presumption that every pupil of every age has his own separate desk for I conceive this to be a highly important point in the construction of every school house. Some I know undertake to say that one desk will serve for two pupils and so it may when we cannot do better. But one pupil and one only to each desk however young he may be is certainly preferable.

He who is convinced of the truth of what is here affirmed will take special pains to avoid falling into such an erroneous habit. He will endeavor to lead his pupils to think rather than to imitate or decipher or echo back his own thoughts It is indeed one excellence of slate and black board and oral exercises that there is not apt to be so much of the error alluded to connected with these modes of instruction as with many other modes. Still as we have seen there is danger even here.

That which delights me most in connection with these exercises is that instead of being irksome to the pupils they are to them almost like pastimes and they are sometimes as sorry to have them at an end as if they were really such.
