An interesting, holistic (philosophical if you may...) study of internet as part of modern society, whether accepted or resisted to... It shows as well how people have adapted to it, so that total privacy won't be lost, and, of course,the fear of social media...

New in 2012, tech plans must include internet safety policies to receive e-rate funding.

This website displays a series of audio-visual resources regarding the history of technology from different perspectives. There are some that are more relevant for our purpose and others that could just be informative. Here I list the ones, that in my opinion are worth to see, and a brief description of each one. * Old compact computer advert: If you just want hear a quick joke about how and old computer is compared to fish, you should watch * Peter Hirshberg: the web and TV a sibling rivalry: A more elaborate talk in a conference in 2007. The speaker describes in 31 minutes how TV and technology have been connected in the past 60 years. He addresses the issue from various perspectives (entertainment and financially) and how computers were developed for a specific purpose after War World II. Additionally, he describes briefly the evolution of computers and TVs in the past years. * Internet in 1994: It displays some uses of Internet as a resourceful tool for marketing, shopping, accessing information, interact and much more. * The next generation: It is a simple, sort of power point, presentation with captions regarding some important event in the history of computers. * Museum of Technology in Berlin * Early technology TV programs. * The Microsoft Way: information regarding the history of this company.

Another evolution of classroom technology infographic. I like the categories it uses: writing, A/V, digital & social media.

This graphic has some fascinating statistics about the explosion of technology in the classroom after the internet became popular.

There are a few interesting slides on here about how the internet can be used in education

Very detailed but concise timeline of every event related to technology in several fields... I loved they mention of one of my fav movies: "1999: The release of the movie "The Matrix" once again steps up the computer generated graphics technology field." Always thought movies have played an important role in the advance of technology... Movies make people dream about things that are not inspired by our daily lives...

I am amazed at how much was developed in such a short space of time. I am also impressed that Queen Elizabeth II becomes the first "Head of State" to write an email message..... and whatever happened to Netscape!!!

OK, this one has a little bit of everything and very concise and clear, but what I loved the most was the quotes... An example: "Computers in the future may weigh no more than one and a half tons." -Popular Mechanics, Forecasting the Relentless March of Science, 1949.

Now, this is another timeline but it focuses in the last decades on how tech has been used in education. It ends in 2007, and the next heading is "2008 and beyond..." How cool is that we can already write the history under that heading!!
