Technology has played a crucial role in transforming education, evolving from simple tools like chalk and slates to modern digital platforms that facilitate learning in new and dynamic ways. As society has advanced, so has the need for more innovative teaching methods that enhance students’ understanding, engagement, and accessibility to knowledge. The journey of educational technology is a testament to human creativity and the desire to improve learning experiences across generations.

In the early stages of formal education, teaching methods relied heavily on oral instruction, handwritten texts, and rudimentary visual aids. With the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, books became more widely available, revolutionizing how information was shared and retained. This breakthrough allowed for the standardization of curricula and the spread of literacy on a much larger scale. Over time, blackboards and chalk became staple tools in classrooms, offering a way for teachers to visually illustrate lessons.

The 20th century marked a significant shift in educational technology. The introduction of radio and television into learning environments allowed educators to reach wider audiences, particularly in remote areas. In the 1960s and 1970s, computers began appearing in schools, though their use was initially limited to basic programming and computational tasks. As the digital revolution progressed, personal computers became more accessible, paving the way for multimedia presentations, digital research, and interactive learning experiences.
