40 years ago

• The idea of humans walking on the moon was
  science fiction
• IBM had yet to market its computer, and personal
  computers were barely imagined (In 1943, the
  president of IBM predicted a global market for
  "maybe five computers")

17

Summary (1)

• Our society is changing more quickly than we can
  follow.
• Education occurs in a sociocultural context, and
  that context influences not only what people
  teach and learn, but how.

24
Summary (2)

• During this course we will consider some changes
  in society for which technology has been a major
  factor.
• This will help provide a background for
  discussions of why we need to restructure school
  with technology and of change in schools.
• How we can apply the Theory Practice to the
  Implementation in the school buildings, and to
  the Reflection of yourself, school
  administrators, and society.
