I highlighted some of the technological advances in the past 20 years, 50 years, 100 years. I walked around the room, creating a visual linear historical chronology, finally getting to the pre-historic cave paintings 20,000 years BC. The visual measurement of time helped to give students an idea of how long ago these were painted, how old the pyramids are, and so on. evelynkarmirisdaley https://padlet.com/spollock5/f1z5a80kvm7c/wish/200712824 2017-10-26 08:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/spollock5/f1z5a80kvm7c/wish/200712824
