PongGame.org Perhaps this isn't much of a game by today's gaming standards, but I thought it was awecome. For the first time I could make things happen on our family television. It was so cool. Image from Wikipedia

My middle school in Tellico Plains, TN got its first computers. Two were in the school library. Our history teacher used it as a reward for students who finished their assignment first. I got to go twice. The first time I couldn't figure out how to make anything work. This is not the technolgical experience we want students to have. The computer isn't a babysitter!

I signed up for Computer Science my sophomore year. We learned Basic Programming. I could type a 100 lines of code to make my computer do a little thing. It sounds crazy, but I was hooked. My parents bought me a used Commodore 64 so I could practice programming from home. Image from Wikipedia

I took an instructional technology class as an elective during my MA course work in the spring of 1995. Now that's what I'm talking about!

I started using the Internet as an instructional resource, communication tool, and more while teaching a group of teachers in Appomatox, Virginia. It was an awesome way to stay in touch and extend what we were doing in the classroom.

When I first started teaching at Marshall University Graduate College, WebCT was the adopted learning management system. Over time WebCT was purchased by Blackboard, the platform MU still uses today. -

I had lots of technology, but I was a hold-out on getting a SmartPhone. My instructional technology students would laugh and shake their heads at my flip phone. I can now say that I've traversed the divide to the dark side with my shiny red iPhone. Image from Lisa Heaton's Photos
