Design Brief:
-
You will create a poster, report, or slideshow using Microsoft Publisher, Word, or Powerpoint.

You must choose one example of communication technology.

Using words and pictures, you must show how the technology has evolved from analog to digital.
-
Include information about the inventor, and the years in which important advances in the technology were made.
-
Show/Tell how the technology has affected our lives
-
Include the URLs of all websites you used for information. (Google must NOT be one of them - it is a search engine, not a source.)
Best Solution:
Your solution to this problem must be emailed to heatherchaulk@nlesdonline.ca or saved to a flash drive and submitted to Ms. Chaulk. Reports may be printed off and passed in if you prefer. Posters and slideshows may not.
These instructions will change if we get Google Classroom set up before the assignment is due.
