Last summer, Bret Victor gave what I thought was one of the most interesting keynotes I've ever seen. The title: "The Future of Programming." The conceit: he pretended like he was delivering a talk in 1973. In it, he focused on the innovations in computer programming in the 1960s and 1970s. And aye, the rub: many of these were not adopted by the tech industry; many of the innovators have been forgotten. The keynote inspired me to think about the same thing for ed-tech, particularly since there are so many innovations from around the same time. The work of Alan Kay, Seymour Papert, and so on. So in turn, I gave talk this morning at the EdTechTeacher iPad Summit on the "History of the Future of Ed-Tech."![]()
