Social Learning
The document discusses the history of technology use in education from the 1840s to the early 20th century. It describes how educators in the 1840s saw value in using chalkboards to engage students visually. In the 1850s, the magic lantern was praised for its ability to teach through sight. And in 1911, Thomas Edison believed moving pictures could make school so enjoyable that students would want to attend. The document advocates for experiential and collaborative learning through digital media and networking tools to engage today's connected students.
