Kindergarten technology

The only technology I was aware of in this age werethe radios, old box televisions, and my first game console ever, the Nintendo.

High school technology

I was introduced to tower computers and the first forms of the internet: connected through a phone line, then eventually cable. Overhead projectors were in the classrooms. I also used a VHS camcorder.

College technology

A Vivid Technology Learning Experience

After my first computer crashed, I learned how important it was to back up the files contained in it, especially the ones that were important.

A technology I want to use in my classroom

A Smart Board or a Promethium BoardAND graphing calculators.

My vision of the classroom of the future
