I am looking for information on the use of technology in school. I need the 1st and 2nd event from 1980, 1990 and 2000. Ive been searching since yesterday. I do not want the answers, just pointed in the right direction. I guess im not searching right or something

Question

Thank you.

Answer 1

I think that is where I am confused to. It just says the first technological event in education and then the second for each time period. I have found one website that helped, im not sure if it is the correct information, but it only went up until 2000. I am still looking for 2000-2010. I appreciate your time. Thank you for trying to help me out.

Answer 2

In 1980, we were using film projectors, slide projectors, tape players, and overhead projectors in classrooms.

Around 1990, many schools started setting up computer labs. (We had one lab of 20 computers with 1 printer for every 4 computers for the entire school of over 2,000 students!) Thankfully, the use of computers in classrooms and labs (more than one per campus!) increased quickly after that.

Now, look ... what do you see in current-day classrooms in addition to computers? Smart boards, LCD projectors, and many other things.
