History of EdTech

Oral Communication Era

501 BCE

"One of the earliest means of formal teaching was oral – though human speech – although overtime, technology has been increasingly used to facilitate or ‘back-up’ oral communication. For the ancient Greeks, oratory and speech were the means by which people learned and passed on learning. To be learned, they had to be memorized by listening, not by reading, and transmitted by recitation, not by writing."
For Example: Stories, folklore, histories, news, song, poems, and chants.
