30. "FOR YEARS, THE CONVERSATION ABOUT MOBILE AND SOCIAL
TECHNOLOGY IN SCHOOLS HAS REVOLVED AROUND HOW TO
BLOCK IT," SAID NASSP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GERALD N.
TIROZZI. "BUT IT'S BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR THAT
SIMPLY BLOCKING SUCH TECHNOLOGIES DOES STUDENTS A
DISSERVICE. AN EDUCATION THAT FAILS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
RESPONSIBLE USE OF MOBILE DEVICES AND SOCIAL NETWORKS
PREPARES STUDENTS FOR OUR PAST, BUT NOT FOR THEIR
FUTURE."
