We would watch VHS tapes in social studies to learn about historical events. -
Many of my teachers used overhead projectors to display information on the board. They would use transparent plastic sheets to write things on, or sometimes the sheets would have things printed on them. The light inside would get hot and often overheat. -
In middle school we had a computer lab we would visit a couple of days per week to practice typing and play the game Oregon Trail. -
In High School we used scientific calculators in math classes to assist in complex math problems. -
My high school broadcast news coverage on the day of the 9/11 attacks. We watched together in shock about what was happening in New York City. -
We used floppy discs to save and store files. They weren't very reliable and frequently failed. I would often save things on 2 different discs just to be safe! -
In High School I took two classes that were computer based. One was an entire class just learning how to use Microsoft products such as Word, Excel, and Power Point. I also took an accounting class where we used a computer program to learn how to do accounting tasks.
