The Most Influential Educational Technology

Now that you have come to the end of our discourse, we ask that you answer one of the following:

  • what would you say is the most influential piece of educational technology?
  • what would you say is the most frustrating piece of educational technology?
  • what would you say is next in the field of educational technology?
Feel free to answer one, two or all three of the questions. We look forward to your contributions!

Your Earliest Educational Technology Memories


What is your earliest educational technology memory? Share with us here! Feel free to add a photo, if you have access to one, that shows you with educational technology. Failing that, link to a website or YouTube video that shows the same educational technology.

Here you will see the creator of the blog with a piece of 'educational' technology. He used to fill the bird bath with it. He knew that filling the bath by using the technology would allow the birds to come closer. His first word was birdie. Now, needless to say, this isn't quite the ed tech we're looking for, but I do have my parents scouring the old albums to find a more suitable picture! :)

Did You Know?

Now that you have viewed the three videos, what implications do the issues and ideas in these videos have on the following: educational technology, the role of educators, students, and society.

Is there anything particularly striking or surprising in the videos?
