Day 2-Hobbes' Internet Timeline
Hobbes' internet timeline is a really interesting document. Not only does it provide a sequential outline of America's advances in science and technology, but it also has links to the actual research that was conducted during the time. I found Bob Metcalfe's Harvard PhD Thesis outline idea for an Ethernet to be especially interesting. The timeline also lists the progress of the World Wide Web across the globe and lists many of the contributors to this achievement by name. It was really interesting to find out that a company called the World was the first company to provide an internet dial up service. It is really amazing to think just how far we have come in such a short period of time. The growth of the internet over the past forty years is also very intriguing. I really thought that the graphs were useful and informational. It will be interesting to see how how much further we can take it all. As a teacher, it is really exciting to think about it all.

Unfortunately, the education field has not kept up with the growth of the Internet. The disparity between business use of the Internet and educational use of the Internet continues to widen. In order to prepare our students to be successful in the 21st century, we must close that gap and integrate more technology into the classroom
I am interested to see what a classroom will look like in 10 years, maybe even 5. I can't imagine going to school with the technology we have at hand. I didn't know what the internet was until I was in college. I only hope teachers do what it takes to close that gap and to use the technology in a meaningful way.
I really do think that even though most schools are far behind in technology integration in 5 to 10 years computers and other tech. tools will be abundant.
