Education Technology

For this week, I decided to find an article that has to do with the progress of educational technology over the years.  This is an article that dates the technology back to the 1600's.  I thought it was really interesting to see how the technology has been improved with time.  It was also really funny to see how the designs of older inventions influenced more recent designs and functions.  The coolest early invention I feel is the Magic Lantern.  I thought that the Magic Lantern had obvious influences on projectors now and even the most current use of an interactive white board.  What do you all think is the most interesting educational tool?  How do you think it has impacted future technology?
