Technology: Past, Present, and Future ** Area of Interaction: ** Human Ingenuity **- Copy this page and paste onto your Technology Timeline page.**
 * Significant Concept: ** Technology is always changing which can lead to positive and negative consequences.
 * Unit Question: ** What are the consequences of change? ** __Requirements:__ **
 * - Create a new page on your wiki. Name your new page "Technology Timeline". **
 * - You will choose __//ONE//__ form of technology to research for your project. **
 * - Research chosen technology through the different time periods starting with the **
 * Agricultural Age (up to the 1700), Industrial Age (1700 - 1950), and ending **
 * with the Technology Age (1950 to present). **
 * - Talk about all the different versions of your technology and when they were invented. **
 * - What is next? Think of the possibilities for this technology in the future. **
 * - Discuss the consequences (both positive & negative) that came as a result of your technology **

Criterion A - Research and Analyze:  1. What technology did you choose to research?

2. What prior knowledge did you have on this topic?

3. What was the first form of this technology? And what year was it created? If your technology was created after the 1700s, you will need to figure out what was used before your technology was created. (ex. Telephones replaced telegrams and smoke signals; light bulb replaced candles and oil lamps)

4. List each of the changes that this technology has gone through and what years they were introduced. You must have at least 8 events on your timeline.

5. Where do you think your technology is going in the future? What could be a new form of this technology that might be invented by 2020? (Hint: This is your own opinion and doesn't require research)

6. What reliable sources did you use to get your information?

Using the MYP Rubric, grade yourself on Research and Analysis.

Criterion B - Design
 1. Brainstorm the information you are going to include in your presentation.

2. Draw a rough draft of your timeline on a piece of paper. --Make sure that your information is in order by year--

3. Decide which pictures you want to include in the timeline presentation.

Using the MYP Rubric, grade yourself on Design.

Criterion C - Realizing the Solution
 Create your Timeline Prezi presentation. - Create a New Prezi - Prezi Title - your name (first & last) Technology Timeline - Prezi Description: List the technology you researched. - You must start your prezi with a __BLANK__ template. - Apply the theme of your choice. - Use the brainstorm rough draft you completed during the Design step and create your prezi. -- Make sure you can justify any changes made to your design --
