In a nutshell, technology has significantly impacted society, people, and the workplace in several ways. Some of the ways in which technology has changed these aspects of life include:

1. Society: Technology has changed how people interact with each other and the world around them. It has also transformed how we access and share information and has made it easier for people to connect and communicate with others across distances.
2. People: Technology has changed how people live and work and has profoundly impacted their daily routines and habits. It has also changed how people learn and access education and provided new opportunities for personal and professional development.
3. The workplace: Technology has transformed how work is done in many industries, with automation and digital tools replacing many traditional manual tasks. It has also changed how businesses operate and communicate and made it easier for people to work remotely and collaborate with others.

How to Teach About Technology Then and Now: Research Project

It’s important that children learn where different forms of technology originated from and understand what life was like before digital devices. We have a range of resources and engaging activities to support you in teaching this to your upper elementary and middle school students.

Changes in Technology Workbook and Research project is designed to reinforce learning of this topic and further develop children’s understanding. This project workbook includes guiding questions and graphic organizers to lead your students through researching how different forms of technology have changed society. Students can use this resource to research

• How communication has changed over time
• How the television has changed over time
• How transportation has changed over time
• and more!

The objective of this research project is to examine the evolution of technologies by comparing past technologies with their modern counterparts. Through this project, students will gain insights into how technological advancements have transformed various aspects of our lives. By analyzing the changes, students will develop a deeper understanding of the progress and impact of technology over time.

Using the graphic organizers and planning documents included, students will research an influential piece of technology and determine how it changed the industry it was designed for. They will also explore how that same technology has evolved over time and how it is used today. The project culminates with students creating a Technology Then and Now poster, highlighting technology’s overall changes and impacts on the industry.
