"To understand where we’re heading in education and edtech, it’s important to look back at our educational roots. As we searched for some of most memorable moments and discoveries in the history of education, we found there are lots of things that haven’t changed in hundreds of years! The groundwork for clunky, physical textbooks was set by the Ancient Greeks, and in the Middle Ages, the lecture format of teaching emerged."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This is clearly an overview (how could one cover centuries of education in one infographic). The infographic starts with Education in the Ancient World and moves through the Middle Ages, on to the Renaissance, then to Early Education in the U.S., Modern Education in the U.S. and finishes with Where Education Will Be in 20 Years.
