[Yr11 Information Technology] You Suck at Infographics - U2O1

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Good clarification .. it is more than fancy diagrams and pictures.

Here is one that tries to represent the many complex changes we can expect
in the Edutech landscape of educational technology over the next 30 years
by trying to plot some of the various ideas and dimensions along an
extended timeline. Just talking about this kind of stuff is hard to do
without dancing or waving your arms about to make connections with current
ideas.

Is this an infographic? :)
