Oral Communication
Oral communication was one of the earliest forms of formal education, while technology has increasingly been employed to support or 'back-up' oral communication over time. Oral communication was used to convey and maintain stories, folklore, histories, and news in ancient times, making good memorization an essential ability, and this is still the case in many aboriginal societies today. -

Written Communication
Moses, according to the Bible, carved stone was used to impart the ten commandments in a kind of writing during the 7th century BC. Despite the fact that Socrates is said to have railed against the use of writing, written modes of communication exist. Long chains of reasoning and argument become considerably more accessible as a result of communication.repeatable and hence more subject to examination and critique than fleeting natureof expression -
Broadcasting and Video
In the 1920s, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) began airing instructional radio programs for schools. Insects in Relation to Man was the first adult education radio broadcast from the BBC in 1924, and in the same year, J.C. Stobart, the new Director of Education at the BBC, pondered in the magazine Radio Times about ‘a broadcasting university' (Robinson, 1982). -
Computer Technologies
In essence, programmed learning development computerizes education, structures information, evaluates student understanding, and requires no human participation other than the design, selection, and loading of content and reviews. The goal is to provide rapid feedback to students. -
Social Media
Although social media is technically a subtype of computer technology, their development requires its own chapter in the history of educational technology. Social media technologies include blogs, wikis, YouTube videos, mobile devices such as phones and tablets, Twitter, Skype, and Facebook. Young people and "millenials," or many students in post-secondary education, are heavily involved in social media. -
A Paradigm Shift
Many claims made for a newly emerging technology are likely to be neither true nor new. Usually the old technology remains, operating within a more specialised 'niche', such as radio, or integrated as part of a richer technology environment, such as video in the Internet. The impact of the Internet on education is a paradigm shift, at least in terms of educational technology. -
