1st Home Computer
As the computer coordinator for all of our county's schools, my father decided that he should bring his work home. While he read through the manuals, I began clicking my way through dialog box after dialog box beginning my first adventure with technology. image source: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/HP-HP9000-C110-Workstation_10.jpg Coffee Mug Image Source:http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/LbgAAOSw9GhYf5xm/s-l300.jpg -
Even Computers need Sleep
My first grade teacher asked me why her computer screen turned black. (All teachers assumed that I knew how to fix minor issues since my father worked on computers.) I stated that I didn't know and that she should contact my father. He arrived on the scene and wiggled the mouse. image source:

Type to Learn®
During the 1990s, teachers stressed the importance of learning how to type properly. Type to Learn® became a dreaded activity as we made our way to computer lab for what seemed like endless sessions. It's mind boggling that students are no longer required to learn how to "type properly." image source:

Online Class
While studying in Italy, I took advantage of my first ever online course entitled "Media, Power, and Culture." Being able to access my class despite frequent travel was super convenient. image source:

Completed 1st Online Certification Program
I successfully completed my first online certification program! Despite living in a rural area with no nearby training centers, the internet gave me the opportunity to complete the program from the comfort of my home. Having a TEFL/TESOL Certification would allow me to teach English anywhere in the world! image source:
