'''At the beginning of the NY Times Timeline, there was over 200 years of a gap showing the evolution of technology from the Horn-Book to the Ferule.''' While disciplining students though the acts of violence is not accepted by today’s social norms, there has not been an extreme amount of change from the 1890s chalk boards, which are still used in today’s classrooms as an acceptable teaching resource. What I found most interesting was the Magic Lantern in 1870, being similar to overhead projectors.''' While they are different, I see the Overhead projector as an updated form of technology rather than a completely new form of technology.''' In my opinion, most basic objects are still used in classrooms, but with proper changes to make them better. '''Do you think that in 100 years from now that chalk boards- over even white boards will still be used in classrooms?''' Do you believe that there will be new forms which will completely replace the old technology, or do you believe technologies will evolve over time in order to make them better, thus leading to new technologies? – Megan Gallagher | '''At the beginning of the NY Times Timeline, there was over 200 years of a gap showing the evolution of technology from the Horn-Book to the Ferule.'''

| + | The timeline of technology in the classrooms surprised me. It was strange to see what year a piece of equipment was created and to then try to remember what grade I was in when my classroom actually had the equipment. The interactive whiteboard for example was listed as having been created in 1999, I don’t remember actually coming in contact with one until the beginning of my senior year of high school. | ||
