    My First Tracfone
    I get my first cell phone! It's a flip phone by Tracfone. My family would by prepaid cards and we would get "minutes" in return. The minutes could be used to make phone calls, text people, purchase ring tones. (n.d.). eBay. Retrieved August 29, 2022, from https://www.ebay.com/itm/284342727852.
  • My First Touchscreen

    My First Touchscreen
    I was a junior in high school. My current cell phone had a QWERTY keyboard that made loud clicking every time I would type. The sound irritated my current boyfriend at the time, and he bought me my first touchscreen phone. Kratochvil, P., 2022. Teenager on smartphone.

  • My First Laptop

    My First Laptop
    In 2017, I go back to school to change my major and complete my bachelor's degree. I was working a lot and needed to take some of my classes online. To do this I needed a laptop at my disposal, up until this point I had been using the computers that were in Drinko library. I used some of my student loan money to purchase a Samsung Notebook 530E.

  • Teaching with Technology

    Teaching with Technology
    Previously, struggled with technology because I never had access to it. I did not grow up with a home computer or internet. Now I am a substitute teacher in Wayne County. I am very happy to say that all of my students have their own school issued laptop. Students having their own machine means that they will not fall behind because they can't afford technology.
