Grandmother's Day Is Tomorrow - April 25. Now, when I first read this at a Website called Care2 Make a Difference, I thought, "Someone has created another holiday to make some money." The author claims, however, that her motive was to get "grandmothers [to] gather their grandchildren and pass on the abilities these elders have within." So, I sent my children a "heads up" to call their Grandmom and make her day. We all live within a time line and I guess marking a time for grandmoms is a good thing. I spent part of today searching for information that might underlie our group's topic presentation on The History of Instructional Media. I read through the work of several folks and viewed several time lines. Allison Moreland, for example, has a brief time line at her Blog called Learning in Bits. It's pretty cool; it has an interactive option. I also examined a great Timetoast on Media History by drtw and another was part of a pdf file entitled Instructional Technology and Theory authored by Robert Whelan at NYU but the best time line of all I found on You Tube set to a jazzy beat.
I also read articles and sent my partners what I've found so far. So maybe on one of these Grandfather's Days in the future my grandchildren may gather around me and I'll be able to pass on to them some top notch technology skills as part of my legacy.
