This document outlines how educational technology has evolved from the 1800s to the present. It notes that in the 1800s, students used offices for compositions and projects. In the 1970s, technologies like paint programs allowed students to create stories and comics. Now, students use multimedia tools, ESL websites, chat/email, blogs, podcasts, and YouTube for presentations, projects, and practicing language skills.
