Free online tutorials for learning to use technology and ict in education. Infographic: The Ultimate History Of Sneaker Design. In my grade school, it was all about the Air Jordans--that was, until the first Reebok Pump hit. Suddenly, all of my suburban Chicago peers were torn between wearing the shoes of the hometown hero and greatest basketball player of all time, or having a satisfying, pressable button on their person at all moments of the day. It’s a memory I’d long forgotten, before being reminded of that fateful year of 1989, so well documented on PopChartLab’s latest mega illustration, A Visual Compendium of Sneakers. It walks you through 134 sneaker designs over almost 100 years of shoe history--it has everything from the original mass-produced sneaker, the Converse All Star (1917), to the controversial Jeremy Scott x Adidas Wing (2013).

And as your eyes scroll down the page into an increasingly satisfying manifestation of absurdity, you can see the evolution of technology into fashion accessory. A Visual Compendium of Sneakers is available as a print for $32. Buy it here. Co.Design | business + design. Design lessons for everyone, curated by top designers - Hack Design. LoudLit.org. Introduction to Networking. Introduction to Networking In this day and age, networks are everywhere. The Internet has also revolutionized not only the computer world, but the lives of millions in a variety of ways even in the “real world”. We tend to take for granted that computers should be connected together. In fact, these days, whenever I have two computers in the same room, I have a difficult time not connecting them together! Given the ubiquitousness of networking, it's hard to believe that the field is still a relatively young one, especially when it comes to hooking up small computers like PCs.

In this section, I provide a quick introduction to networking, discussing what it is all about in general terms. Home - Table Of Contents - Contact Us.

Through studying design technology, students should become aware of how designers work and communicate with each other. In all group 4 subjects there is an emphasis on a practical approach through experimental work. The group 4 project (which all science students must undertake), mirrors the work of real scientists by encouraging collaboration between schools across the regions. Past experience shows that students will be able to study a group 4 subject at standard level (SL) successfully with no background in, or previous knowledge of science.

For most students considering the study of a group 4 subject at higher level (HL) however, some previous exposure to the specific subject would be recommended. Students who have undertaken the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) would be well prepared. The design technology course is organized by topics, SL students study seven topics and HL students study a further five, with some of these taking the first seven topics to greater depth.
