  • The History of Educational Media
    1 CHAPTER I GIDDY PROPHESIES AND COMMERCIAL VENTURES: THE HISTORY OF EDUCATIONAL MEDIA The motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and…in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks. —Thomas Edison, 1922 Wedded to a deep identification with both science and religion, technology is the center of [American] civic life, the one unquestioned good, before which we both worship in awe and collapse in fear…Our national storytelling is, to an unusual extent, embedded in the history of technology. —James Carey, 1997. Technology has a special place in American culture. It is ineluctably wedded to the American philosophy of progress and we romanticize its capabilities. We trust that scientific achievements will make the world a better and safer place (Robins & Webster, 1999). Our faith in technology has certainly been prevalent in the social sphere of education. Since the turn of the 20th century and the development of communication technology, educational literature and the popular press have been filled with visions of technology-laden schools and giddy prophesies of how the latest medium will improve learning across the educational spectrum. As educational historians have noted, each new technology introduced into schools spurred an enormous amount of enthusiasm among educators, administrators, and technology advocates (e.g., Cuban, 1986). The use of Victrolas, film projectors, radios, televisions, cassette recorders, video, computers, CD-ROMs, and the internet have all been presumed to rejuvenate and/or reform education. Not surprisingly, the hopeful discourses for each medium throughout this “Age of Information” are so similar that predictions for one educational technology can easily be substituted for another.

Send e-mail to [email protected] JUNE - AUGUST, 1996 E-MAIL LIST FOR CHRISTIANS WHO HOME SCHOOL Family Times is indirectly involved in another new project for the benefit of Christians who home school. It is an automatic e-mail list, called HSlist, for those who have a computer with a modem. Anyone on the list can communicate with everyone else on the list simply by sending an e-mail to the list address. The list processor automatically forwards the message to everyone else on the list. We already have over 50 families of Christians on the list. This means that all subscribers have a way of contacting dozens of families of Christians who home school and receiving their replies within just a few hours. This is an amazing advantage for those who want support from other Christians, advice, comfort, or just encour- agement. HSlist is a “closed” list, which means in order to be on the list, people must apply to the owners of the list, Mark Mayberry or David Pratte. HSlist will appeal only to people who are favorably interested in home schooling and who are members of non-institutional churches of Christ. By “favorably interested in home schooling” we mean people who are personally involved in home schooling or who are favorably impressed by the idea of home schooling and want to know more about it.
