This infographic looks at both technology and education over the last four decades. Are there connections between these two themes? Take a look and see what was going on in the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's and today. This infographic provides geat depth in these two areas, noting that the:
* 1980's was the Age of Processing, the beginning of the Digital Age and a time when tech was a peripheral tool.
* 1990's was Hardware 2.0, the World Wide Web came into being and a time when tech begins to supplement.
* 2000's was the move to connectivity, to an age of sharing and portable devices and technology supplements instruction.
* Today - Perhaps this is yet to be written but a few years in we see multifunctional devices, personalization and technology as an integrated tool.
What would your students think of this chart? What conversation might arise in faculty meeting or with sharing this with the PTO or other stakeholders in your community? It does provide food for thought.
