Abstract: It is the aim of this paper to present a historical narrative of the field of Instructional Technology (IT) while placing the Maker movement within this historical context. The historical synopsis relies on the definition of IT created by The Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), as it is the most widely and broadly used definition within IT, to guide the historical perspective.
