TECHNOLOGY
A summary
ICT IN ELT 2012
Students: Rodriguez Saracho, Viviana
Carbajales, Paula
2. The Beginning (US)
1951 - Little technology used in
schools, primarily TV
1956 - School overcrowding growing;
school dropout rate rapidly declining;
schools still based on the
teacher/manager model in individual
teacher-controlled classrooms
1958 - Some new money and some
new technology primarily in vocational
education. Mainframe host computers
are not widely accepted in schools.
3. 1963 - New money supporting the use of
technology in schools; mainframe and
minicomputers use batch processing
methods that do not fit well with the single
teacher-as-manager-of-learning methods in
use.
1965 - New money into schools for
technology. Mainframes and minicomputers
are put into place in some schools, but most
are used for administration/school
counselling.
4. 1967 - High-level programming
languages such as Fortran are being
taught are in universities. School
vocational training programs begin to
include computer maintenance.
1970 - Mainframes and
minicomputers in use in some schools,
but very little use in the delivery of
instruction.
5. 1971 - Intel's first microprocessor
developed; the first microcomputers (PCs)
are developed; a few software companies
begin to develop mainframe and
minicomputer- based instructional
programs.
1975 - Some Apple 1 PCs are donated to
schools; some schools have adopted
mainframes and minicomputers and refuse
to consider PCs.
6. 1981 - Drill and practice CAI gains
acceptance in schools. The first
educational drill and practice
programs are developed for personal
computers.
1983 - The Apple II computer finds
widespread acceptance in education
because PCs better fit the
teacher/manager model of
instructional delivery.
1994 - Most US classrooms now have
at least one PC available for
instructional delivery, but not all
teachers have access to a computer
for instructional preparation.
7. The Internet era
1995 - The Internet and the world wide
web begin to catch on as businesses,
schools, and individuals create web pages;
most CAI is delivered on CD-ROM disks and
is growing in popularity.
1997 - Educational software becomes
more useful and interesting to students as
graphics and video are incorporated.
8. Argentina, 2011 onwards
