February 28th, 1940

The genesis of the Instructional Materials Center goes all the way back to the fall of 1929, when Abraham Krasker, then a science teacher at Boston Latin School, was hired to offer an SED course called “Visual Education” to science teachers to train them in how to use educational film, still pictures, film slides, and lantern slides (the current technologies of the time) in teaching and learning science.
