If you haven't checked out ISTE's TimeGlider of key educational
technology developments in the past 30 years then now is your chance.
The timeline overlays technological advancements throughout history with
information about every NECC starting with the first NECC in 1979. It's
truly amazing to see how far we've come and how technology and
education have been married together to create the greater Ed Tech
Universe.
From ISTE.org:
This year marks the 30th anniversary for the International Society for
Technology in Education (ISTE) and ISTE’s conference, the National
Educational Computing Conference (NECC).
We invite you to join us in this celebration year by honoring the
past, celebrating the present, and envisioning the future. Enjoy

Click the start button to begin using the timeline. You can use the
left and right arrows to scroll through the years of the timeline. You
can also "grab" the timeline and drag it left and right to move to
different years. The up and down arrows will zoom in and out so you can
view years at a time or just hours. When you find a piece of history you
would like more information about click it to see more details.
TimeGlider is a free application
that can be used by educators and students to create timelines about
the last year of your family, the last century of world events, about
pre-historical (bce/bc) times or on any other subject you want to
present.
