“Slates”
and tablets have served as educational tools for over 5 thousand years, back to
the time of the Sumerians.
Ancient stone tablets often had irregular shapes as
their edges became broken over time.
Throughout
history, technological advancements have changed the conditions for human
learning.
In the SLATE logo, the tablet shape
combines with a suggestion of an old pen or engraving tool.
It thus reflects
the relationship between technology and learning extending from ancient time
with slates to modern tablets and beyond.
