Week 3, Day 1: EOTO Com Tech Timeline

Do you know where this mural is on the HPU campus? 

EOTO   Stands for Each One Teach One. Rather than my lecture about the development of communication technologies, YOU will take the helm and teach the rest of us, including me. Yes, I always learn something new when students do the research and presentations instead of me.

CLICK   On the photo above and browse the technologies on offer. Here are more ides that are not on the mural: Paper, Ballpoint Pen, Phonograph, Motion Pictures, VCR, Bluetooth, Hulu.

PICK   A technology that you would like to research.

RESEARCH  The technology of your choosing. Try to go beyond Google. For example, try Google Scholar instead.

BLOG #4  Do a KEY POST based on your research for this EOTO project. This will be graded as a separate assignment. Make this post 500 words minimum. Be sure to think about hallmarks of a good blog post — at least one visual element and at least one link. But since this is a special assignment, I think you should do more. Make it special! 

• History: Who invented your technology? What were the circumstances? What problem were they trying to solve with their invention? 
• Impact: How did the invention change our world? What problems did it solve? How did it change communication? Did it have any negative effects?
