San Luis County Office of Education: Education Trivia Quiz

James

Brescia, Ed.D.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Ihope to provide some entertainment this month with an Education Trivia Quiz. Schools have changed a great deal over the years and continue to reflect the changes in our society. Chalkboards were updated to whiteboards and then to Smart Boards. Laptops and iPads replaced notebooks and textbooks in the same way that ballpoint pens replaced fountain pens and ink wells. Test your trivia knowledge and take some time to reflect on education as it was and is today. Education is one of the most empowering forces in the world. Education can create knowledge, build confidence, break down barriers, increase opportunities, and promote social justice. Thank you for your continued support of education in our community. It is an honor to serve as your County Superintendent of Schools.
