I will never forget going to my cousins' house to play with their Nintendo, so it was a wonderful Christmas when we finally got one of our own! Image courtesy of Amazon -
I remember sitting in Computer class in high school and getting my very first email address! It was such a wonderful day! haha Image courtesy of SiliconANGLE -
Gateway computers were the way of the world so we had to have one too, and of course they offered us a sweet deal on AOL with it! Oh, that dial-up sound! Image courtesy of TheStreet -
My older sister had a cell phone first, so when she upgraded and got a new phone I got her old phone. I thought it was the best day ever! Image courtesy of CNET -
I started teaching in 2007, and then this bad boy finally came into my life a few years later. I wouldn't know what to do without it now! Such a lifesaver! Image courtesy of TechFest -
So of course the district figured out that a laptop had to go with the smartboard, so I finally got a laptop of my own! Photo courtesy of CNET -
I knew I had to get my Masters shortly after I started teaching, so Technology in Education was the way to go! 14 years later, my how much technology has changed! Sad to think that much of what I learned then is outdated now. Image courtesy of Facebook -
It was one of the greatest days ever when I finally got a Smartphone! I didn't know what do with myself! Image courtesy of Smart Cellular -
I will never forget the Sunday that I found out I would never see my students in-person again. What a day! However, I am so thankful for technology to finish out the school year and to still be able to teach my kids and to zoom with them sometimes. I never would have thought of such a thing back in 2007 when I first started teaching! Image courtesy of Murf Resources -
It's amazing to think how far technology has come in the 40 years that I was born! Technology is ever-changing, and changes nearly everyday. It will be interesting to see how much it changes in my next 40 years!
