Pencils
Going through schooling, I used pencils to write down ideas, draw pictures, create diagrams, etc. There's endless ways how the technology of pencils have been used in my life. -
Paper
This hidden type of technology has been used for decades in the classroom. Alike to pencils, many don't believe that paper is a technology. -
Headsets
During computer time, headsets would be used in order to listen to educational games being played, audiobooks, and more. These headsets were always present in the computer labs. -

iPads
When iPads were first introduced into the classroom, there were a few in number and were used during centers to research material when laptops weren't available. Now students at select middle schools are given iPads to take home with them, bridging that first digital divide of having access to technology. -
Macbook
I got this type of technology during my sophomore year of high school. This device greatly assisted me in doing all my assignments and such for school. -
Interactive Whiteboard
I've used this technology recently in my job to teach and engage children in activities and topics. On here, they can do interactive worksheets where they can draw, write, and drag items.
