My Technology as a Student-Kindergarten through College

  • Overhead Projector

    Overhead Projector
    An overhead projector was what teachers used to display information to the class when I was in school. This was the precursor to white boards.
  • Paper and Pencil

    Paper and Pencil
    Though it is still used today, this was how we learned to write and take notes. We could use this to send letters to pen pals or family that didn't live close.
  • Film Projector

    We knew it was going to be a fun day when the film projector was rolled into the class on a cart. We would be able to watch an educational movie.
  • Computer

    When I entered Junior High, we had computers. They were big, heavy, and really had no color or graphics to them.
  • VCR

    Now, instead of rolling in a film projector we were really excited when the VCR came rolling in on a cart. It was so techy.
  • Electric calculator

    Electric calculator
    No more math in the head! We were allowed to use calculators for our high school math classes.
  • Typewriter

    Typewriter
    Wow, technology is great! I no longer had to write my papers by hand, I could use a typewriter.
  • My School Laptop

    My School Laptop
    This is what I have used for the last six years for school. It's an older laptop, but still functional
  • Printer

    Printer
    Now that I can do my schoolwork on my laptop, many times I just upload my work. Occasionally, I need to print a paper for my teacher. No more having to write by hand or use a typewriter. Just click print and away we go.
  • My Life in My Hand

    My Life in My Hand
    My phone is my link to everything. I have my calendar for family, work, and school. I also have my emails for everything, including my alerts from school. This is what keeps my life somewhat organized and stay on top of my school work.
