Matt Aoki attended elementary school in Hawaii and graduated from high school in 2007. He hopes to become a teacher after completing his degree at Kapiolani Community College. Educational technology has evolved significantly over time, from chalkboards to online learning and smart devices. The biggest challenges are financial constraints and keeping up with the rapid pace of technological change.

1. A personal timeline of educational technology

2. My name is Matt Aoki I started school in 1994 in Hawaii at Noelani Elementary I graduated from high school in 2007 from Roosevelt Highschool I first went attended college at Kapiolani community college in (2007) When I finish my degree, I hope to become a teacher, but am still undecided

3. Technology used for inspiring, and capturing the mind of learners through networking, visual, and hands on learning.

4. YouTube video pretty interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZjRJeWfVtY&feature=relate From 40,000BCE and beyond http://www.isrl.illinois.edu/~chip/projects/timeline/ Learning machines http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/09/19/magazine/classroom-technology.html

5. Chalkboard for teacher to write on and students to participate with Television to watch videos on

6. Computers for research and word processing Over head projector for teachers to demonstrate work and write notes.

7. Online schooling Auditorium projectors Laptop for excess work Smart phone email updates

8. Internet in households, knowledge at your fingertips AOL instant messenger, communication with classmates (homework help) Rise of google, search anything so easy and simple Smart phones, mobile information.

9. I would like to use a social networking tool I love how they bring people together and a unity in a class room would be amazing. Ide also think a video recording of the class for students to study and review would be an amazing asset possibly through a private youtube channel?

10. I would like to see everything done through a tablet such as an ipad. Books everything remove “backpack” from the equation Ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-edAGLokak.

11. The biggest challenge is money there are so many students and so much is needed, technology doesn’t come cheap. Keeping up is also going to be a challenge I’ve noticed adults just seem to become oblivious to the new I hope that not me (don’t want to be my dad “how do I turn this on”)

12. "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.” – Popular mechanics (1949) Technology is constantly evolving and as it does so will education.
