You might think "Zoom Classrooms" and #EdTech are new things. They're a byproduct of ubiquitous computers and faster Internet connections. But that's not actually the case.
Even before the World Wide Web existed, creative teachers were figuring out how to use the Internet to engage students and enhance the types of learning possible in the emerging digital world. Leading the charge was Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres. In the early 1980s, Yvonne found herself with a computer in her classroom and no clue what to do with it. So she decided to figure something out.
Her efforts soon grew into a global communications network, video classrooms, and students collaborating around the world. All of this happened before most people even had Internet accounts. She's a pioneering voice in the e-learning industry, founder of Global SchoolNet, an inductee in the Internet Hall of Fame, and you'll hear her story on this episode of Web Masters.
