While technology in the classroom offers many opportunities for student learning, many worry about how students may abuse access to the internet and 21st Century Technology. This slideshow hopefully demonstrates that while technology (cell phones, iPads, computers, social networking) offers opportunities for bullying, distraction, and other poor choices, these behaviors are not new to children and adolescents. Completed as part of the CoETaIL program at YIS.

42. You might even say that...
There is no new thing under the
sun.
or that...

they remain the same.
or that in fact...
Each generation imagines itself to be more
intelligent than the one that went before it,
and wiser than the one that comes after it.
