Wonderful visual of the evolution of technology in the classroom - would be a great graphic to show to students (and teachers) for fun.

Fred, thanks for sharing this. I found a project that will enhance my 8th grade Who am I? mini project.

Take a look at the Make tab and also the Tools under the Explore tab. These activities might be great ways to incorporate coding and web literacy into your lessons.

This is the program my husband used to teach my 8th graders how to code their text for the app. My students loved it and can't wait to code! They code on one side of the screen and see the results on the other side. It gives them instant feedback to see if their code is correct or not.

This article provides an infographic that helps to demonstrate the potential direction of technology used in schools.

"...less than half the time that children age 2 to 10 spend watching or interacting with electronic screens is with what parents consider "educational" material. Most of that time is from watching television, with mobile devices contributing relatively little educational value."

This is really interesting look at humanity's impact on the earth.

Brian, thanks for sharing this. I do a climate change project and this will be a good resource to use in my class.
