Unit I Assignment
Building a Timeline for the History of the Internet
This assignment provides you with an opportunity to build a
timeline that illustrates the significant milestones of the
Internet. Remember that all history is selective, and no two
scholars can agree to the time when the Internet (or ecommerce)
actually began or what constitutes a significant milestone.
You are encouraged to use your course textbook,
reliable sources from the Internet, and the university’s
online library to support the information within your own timeline.
Also, this assignment involves using Microsoft PowerPoint to
create a timeline. Feel free to design your own timeline, or
click here to access a template.
Be sure to include at least the following as part of your
timeline:
? Include at least 12 milestones
on the timeline.
? On separate slides, very briefly
summarize each milestone—what occurred?
? Include dates on both the timeline and
the summarizing slides.
? Include a references slide where you
can cite your research for each milestone.
? (Optional) Include a few images to
visually represent milestones on the timeline.
Save all of your work within the PowerPoint file, proofread
all of your work, and submit it in Blackboard for grading.
