**Project Overview**
====**Time Line**Develop a time line of history from 1900 to the present that features entries for the following six strands:==== Develop your Time Line using time line software, as a multimedia presentation, in spreadsheet, or as another kind of technology-based product. Use color coding or another convention to identify the six strands of the Time Line. You may want to research time lines online to get ideas for different ways to build your Time Line. From your completed time line, you will choose the three decades from 1950 onward that interest you the most. You will develop a podcast or paper that analyzes how all six strands of the time line interrelate and influence the evolution of educational technology in those three decades.
 * Strand 1: Toffler's three waves and the fourth wave if you believe we have entered one
 * Strand 2: Technology: Key advances and innovations for each decade
 * Strand 3: Work: Business and corporate philosophies by decade
 * Strand 4: Education: Important theories of learning and instruction by decade
 * Strand 5: [|Society and culture: Events that determined the thinking of each decade]
 * Strand 6: Other: Your choice of an area to highlight (political, economic, religious, etc.)
 * Time Line Analysis** **Podcast or Paper**

**Time Line with Strand 1**
This week you will begin Part 1 of the two-part Culminating Project for the course. Your assignment will be to create a template for your time line using appropriate software, including strands 1-6 (Strand 1: Wave Theory; Strand 2: Technololgy, including your single choice for Strand 6). Then add content to your template for the first strand of this Time Line Project, explained below. Submit this assignment via the Dropbox by **Day 7** of this week. Click the **Submit an Assignment** link, choose the **Week 2: Wave Theory** Dropbox basket, then post the link to your wiki in the text box provided.
 * Strand 1: Wave Theory—Place the three waves of Toffler’s theory on your time line.
 * Project whether we have entered a fourth or not.
 * Note when the fourth wave began.
 * Create a wiki to display your work.
 * Put a link to your wiki in the Dropbox so your Instructor can access your work, and invite your Instructor to join your wiki.
 * Place the time line on your own wiki, or include a link to your online wiki.


 * //*Note://** //Students are encouraged to place the links to their personal wiki's in the Doc Sharing area of this course. This will allow other students to view each other's work in progress and facilitate collaboration. Wiki's allow you to choose who has view and author access or view-only access to the content you post on your wiki page.//
