2. Fill in the Blanks (i)
[This Device] appealed at once to the eye and to the ear, thus
naturally forming the habit of attention, which is so difficult to
form by the study of books. Whenever the pupil will not fully
understand [it] will have the opportunity of enlarging and making
more intelligible.
3. Fill in the Blanks (ii)
[These instruments are] not uncommon, but are little resorted to by
the teacher.
The teacher almost knows as little how to use [it] as his
pupils.
What are they talking about?
4. Educator Quotes from the 1840s about the Chalkboard
5. Fill in the Blanks (iii)
... the existing system is utterly inefficient. The teacher ... may
pour it in the ear, or extract it from the printed page ... but
unless he teaches through the eye, no satisfactory instruction can
be conveyed.
6. Sir David Brewer (1856) on the Magic Lantern
7. Fill in the Blanks (iv)
[It] is going to make school so attractive that a big army of
swords and guns couldnt keep boys and girls out of it.
Mix [it] with education and youll have something that makes kids
want to go to school.Youll have to blockemto keep em away.
8. Edison (1911) on Moving Pictures
9. Education Reform
Time, time, time! The system we invented, intended to educate well
only the few, has to be overhauled, and the overhaul has to be done
while kids and teachers are still there like trying to change all
four tyres while the car is still running, and without a map, and
with several backseat drivers making different suggestionsDeborah

10. Sir Ken Robinson
Every education system in the world is being reformed at the
moment. And it's not enough. Reform is no use anymore, because
that's simply improving a broken model. What we need .... is not
evolution, but a revolution in education. This has to be
transformed into something else.
One of the real challenges is to innovate fundamentally in
education. Innovation is hard because it means doing something that
people don't find very easy for the most part. It means challenging
what we take for granted, things that we think are obvious. The
great problem for reform or transformation is the tyranny of common
sense -- things that people think, "Well, it can't be done any
other way because that's the way it's done."{We must disenthrall
ourselves from some teaching traditions}

23. 24. The Education of the young and young in mind is too
important just to do nothing.
"Had I the heavens embroidered cloths, Enwrought with gold and
silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths of night and
light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your
feet; But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my
dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my
dreams.
W.B. Yeats
