EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from September 1962 takes us back to a time when innovation and education merged in the most extraordinary way. Meet Rognvald Gunn, a bright-eyed 14-year-old student from Henley, as he stands proudly beside the groundbreaking International Tutor Machines (ITM) designed for teaching purposes. This remarkable machine, known as Grundytutor, was the first of its kind ever manufactured and marketed by a British firm. The image showcases the sheer wonderment on young Rognvald's face as he interacts with this electro-mechanically operated back projector. The Grundytutor ingeniously utilizes 35mm microfilm technology to deliver an immersive learning experience like no other. Its presence in classrooms during the 1960s marked a significant leap forward in educational methods. Doreen Spooner's photograph encapsulates not only the excitement surrounding technological advancements but also highlights how education has always been at the forefront of progress. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since then and how crucial it is to embrace new tools that enhance our learning journey. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era where robots were envisioned not just as fictional characters but also as potential teachers who could revolutionize traditional classroom dynamics. It symbolizes hope and curiosity while capturing an essential moment in history when computers began their integration into education systems worldwide.
