(Critical) History of ICT in education
http://tinyurl.com/chq53n (Critical) history of ICT in education - and where we are heading? The use of computers in education is much more a series of failure than success stories. I agree with Erik Duval that in general, on a large scale, the impact of technology on the way people learn has been minimal. In open distant learning and military training (simulations) there are examples of success, but these models do not fit very well into the school and university context. So, I wouldn’t call them “good examples”. |

Technology in 1900 (pbs)
http://pbskids.org/wayback/tech1900/index.html Technology in 1900 (pbs) Visitors to this site are introduced to some of the new technologies that were introduced just over 100 years ago. Kids learn about the precursor to the music video, the challenges of early automobile travel, and what it was like for telephone operators before the days of direct dial. An interview with historian/entertainer Max Morath reveals what technologies were available to kids in 1900 and what they were most excited about. Finally, visitors can read predictions for the next century made in 1900, to see how people thought life would change during the 20th century. |
