When first starting in school, my class made use of CD players in Kindergarten to play poems and music that were used in learning centers/groups. -
Early elementary school was when my classrooms featured a dual VHS/DVD player for watching instructional videos. -
Before the use of document cameras and smart boards, we used projectors as a way to do math/grammar lessons during the day -
During grade school, we would make weekly trips to the computer lab to increase typing and internet literacy. -
As a way to become able to use the computer for drawing/design, my teachers would have us work on Microsoft Paint in the computer labs (RIP MS Paint). -
As I moved up in elementary school, teachers (who were more interested in the new tech) began to use document cameras instead of the more old-school projectors -
We used Camcorders in school as a way to make videos before the use of smart phones -
The first time I saw a smart board being used was when I was in my 7th grade Algebra class. I still use a similar smart board in my class today -
High school was when the use of the iPhone/smartphones for video recording became more prevalent in the classroom/for assignments, replacing the camcorder. -
During my junior year of high school, allotted chromebook laptops were provided in each English/History classroom for students to do research.
