If you could choose three people as the most\u00a0prominent people in educational technology, who would you select?\u00a0 This is the question I posed to one of my classes.\u00a0 I gave no ground rules.\u00a0 We have no text book with a chapter that discussions this.\u00a0 It’s wide open.<\/p>\n

If you think about this question in a different context, it could be easy to answer.\u00a0 Name the three most important people in the history of American government.\u00a0 In technology, it would be easier to list the three most important people in the world of personal computers or in the development of the Internet.<\/p>\n
Educational technology is more obscure.\u00a0 The entry in Wikipedia wasn’t created until 2005, four years after most topics were entered.\u00a0 There is no standard introductory text that is used in edtech.\u00a0 In fact, most of the people I know in this field are self-taught.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see the names that make the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
