Early Technological Advances(1920s and 1930s)
Technological advances in radio broadcasting, sound recording, and sound motion recording occur (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.18). These advances are seen as potential instructional tools (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p. 18).Textbooks are created to support the use of these tools in education (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p. 18). -
Development of Modern AECT
Three companies merge and create education governing systems (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p. 3). This merging of companies would later become known as Associations of Education Communications and Technology.

SAT creation
The SAT is created by a non profit organization and consisted of 315 questions with a 90 minute completion time (Fletcher, 2009). The measure of knowledge these tests brought about paved the way for instruction to improve to meet the demand of the tests. -

Early Technological Advances(1930s and 1940s)
During this decade of instructional technology, educators observed minimal gains from radio as an instructional tool and film became a more popular means for education (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.19). The military piloted the most impactful and successful use of this tool during this decade resulting in a substantial victory for education and the world (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.19). -

Period: to
World War II
The United States Army Air Force created 400 films and 600 film strips to train the vast amount of troops joining the fight (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.19). In the two years this was implemented, the Army estimates that these films were viewed over four million times (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.19). -
Result of World War II
The superior training is identified as a result of the war. German forces adopt the training techniques used by the United States Army validating the use of instructional technologies for military usage (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.19).

SAT Acceptance
The SAT is viewed as a right of passage for returning soldiers to be accepted into college post war (Fletcher, 2009). -
IBMs impact
Contrary to the acceptance of the personal computer as an instructional instrument, IBM begins development computer technology to be used as an instructional tool (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p. 20).

Early Technological Advances (1950s and 1960s)
The television becomes more personal and many people are able to acquire televisions for their homes (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.20). The use of TV's as instructional tools start being developed and companies begin creating educational channels (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.20). In the U.S., twelve educational channels are aired and as a result, two years later, fifty educational channels are broadcasted (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.20). -
Learning Objectives
Psychologist Robert Mager develops a process for educators to identify learning objectives to assist with learning (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p. 9).

Early Technological Advances (1960s and 1970s)
After a long period of speculation, computers are viewed and implemented as instructional tools (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.21). Due to lack of accessibility, computers initial implementation has a small immediate impact on education (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.21). -
Instructional Design Model Explosion
Several groups of authors create Instructional design models that assist with effective lesson formatting (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.26). One popular model is created during this time, the Dick, Carey, and Carey model (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.26). -
Introduction of the ADDIE model
Florida State University creates the model as a response to a request made by the US Army. Branson, Raymer, Cox, Fauman, King, and Hannum research and develop a new instructional design tool to increase efficiency of training (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.9).

Impact of Instructional Design
Instructional design is viewed as a problem solving solution for many issues in countries around the globe (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.26). The U.S. military also continues to expand its efforts within the military focusing on bettering instruction through the use of instructional design models (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.26).

Computers Become Personal
After several years of development, the computer is able to be acquired by the common household as a personal computer (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.20). Interested increases from 1980-1985, with 40 percent of elementary schools and 75 percent of secondary schools using computers (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.20).

Early Technological Advances (1980s and 1990s)
Computers make an appearance with a hope of a one to one experience for learners along with full implementation from teachers (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.22). By 1995, Teachers report using computers very little with nine students to one computer ratio (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.22). -
ASSURE model development
Due to the vast amount of media incorporation into instruction, this model focuses on using the right tool for the right context (Smaldino, Lowther, Russell, & Mims, 2015). The ASSURE model uses technology based platforms to enhance learning and to meet specific learning objectives (Smaldino, Lowther, Russell, & Mims, 2015).

Modern Technological Advances (2000s and 2010s)
Introduction of an eLearning concept and distance learning. Increased accessibility to the internet and technological tools increases the opportunity for learners to further their education (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.27). -
Internet Accessibility
Increased access to the internet gives teachers more opportunity to extend their instruction beyond the classroom (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.21). Learners begin to redefine expectations and accept new ideologies around learning concepts (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.21). 93 percent of students have access to the internet within the school setting (Reiser and Dempsey, 2012, p.21).
