A volume in International Social Studies Forum: The Series Series
Editors Richard Diem, University of Texas at San Antonio and Jeff
Passe, University of North Carolina, Charlotte January 2009 marked
the 25th anniversary of one of the most famous three minutes of
television history. It was during half-time of the 1984 Super Bowl
that APPLE show cased its new Macintosh Computer in an avant-guard
commercial. In the following three weeks sales of the new computer,
in both the public and private sectors, took off leading some to
note this occasion as the "true" start of the information age. At
the same time schools joined this so-called information revolution
and began to use the new technology, in various forms, in a much
more serious manner. Given both the changing nature of technology,
as well as its classroom applications, over the past quarter
century this work's goal is to capture the historical trends of
both use and application of information technology in the social
studies during this era. This is done by providing a retrospective
view, from 1984 through 2009, of where we've been, where we are,
and a view of new tools and strategies and possible studies that
are emerging that can enhance our understanding of the effects that
technology has and will have on the social studies.
