The “Imagining the Internet” Web site developed by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s School of Communications in partnership with the Pew Internet & American Life Project is one of 11 Web sites highlighted in the May/June edition of Higher Learning Magazine. Higher Learning is an electronic publication that focuses on technology-based teaching and learning at post-secondary institutions across Canada and the U.S.
The magazine cites the work of Janna Anderson, assistant professor and director of Internet projects for ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s School of Communications in developing the site.
The site includes video interviews and audio podcasts featuring leading technology visionaries; educational fun and games for elementary school children; lesson plans for teachers of students from elementary through college age; a fascinating round-up of future forecasts by the world’s foremost forward-thinkers; and a brief history of communications networks.
Features of the site also include hundreds of predictions about the Internet’s future made by netizens from around the world; a form with which anyone anywhere can submit a vision to be shared on the site; annual surveys that glean predictions from tech-nology stakeholders; and a database that includes more than 4,000 predictions made by a thousand Internet pioneers between 1990 and 1995.
