I was asked to create a history or timeline in the field of Educational Technology back in 2012. At the time I spent a lot of work on it, and I felt like I learned a lot. I cannot believe how much I have learned since then, just 3 years ago. Here is my timeline and some of my explanation:
I used an online site called Dippity to create the timeline, because it allowed images and also BC dates. A commentary as to why I chose each date is included within each link. I cited the different topics on the actual timeline, and my complete bibliography is below. Click on the Flipbook or List View if you get pulled into the BC time scale on the timeline and can’t seem to get back into modern times.
