After making a timeline that included both the evolution of computer technology and the evolution of educational theory, it became clear that emerging technologies have had an influence on education and educational theory. Before the introduction of the first computer into a classroom in 1959, educational theory seems to have been concerned primarily with culture and society. For example, both Lev Vygotsky and John Dewey saw education as being intrinsically linked to one’s environment (culture, society). However, only nine years after a computer was introduced into a classroom, Atkinson and Shiffrin compared the human mind to how a computer operates. I thought that this fact was particularly interesting because it shows how computers have not just become a part of the classroom; they have also influenced how people have come to understand the human mind. Other theorists considered technology as well. In 1981, Robert Gagne promoted the usage of software in lesson plans. After the internet became accessible in 1994, computers have come to play an even larger role in the classroom. Clearly, after computers were introduced into the classroom, educational theorists began to integrate technology more into their theories.
