This board is similar to a dry erase board, but it is hooked up to over head projector system. The teacher can put information up on it for the class and also print notes from it. This technology would help when I am teaching because it will make it easier to distribute papers and information more efficiently.
First person that is important to educational technology is Matt Mullenweg he is the developer of WordPress blogging site and software. He is important because a lot of people love to blog and without him I would not be writing this blog on this site. His invention is important to education because people can go on this site and post blogs about thier education and give the address to others to view.
Second person that is important to educational technology is Meg Whitman CEO of EBAY. She is important because a lot of people like to buy/sell things online and EBAY is a good place to start. On Ebay or Half.com, which is owned by Ebay someone can find text books needed for classes or on Ebay someone could find equipment needed to teach in thier classrooms.
Third person that is important to educational technology is Jeff Bezos is the CEO of Amazon. He is important because Amazon is a place where you can buy things that are hard to find. Amazon is also a place where people can find textbooks for school. This site helps students get access to tools they need for thier education for cheaper prices.
