 * This assignment was interesting because I've never really thought about the evolution of technology from an educational standpoint. It is amazing how fast technology has grown throughout the recent decades and how it has changed our world. By completing this timeline, I was able to see how technology has affected students in the classroom and the new theories that have developed in order to further student learning. This timetoast site was beneficial because it made creating the timeline more fun, while allowing for educational learning. I was able to connect this information to my class in educational psychology where we learned about educational theorists, such as Jean Piaget and Vygotsky. It will be interesting to see where technology will take us in the upcoming years. Perhaps it will be good or for bad, but either way technology will continue to move exponentially.**
