When I first started 1st grade, my school made a big purchase: their first photocopier machine. It was such a big deal for all the teachers, and it was only used for large tests. -
Almost all of my grade school education was completed in Peru, and one of the classes we were required to take was English. We used the computer lab to do interactive testing in English to help us with pronunciation. -
My parents bought me my very first desktop to help me with my schoolwork and projects. I remember that when I used the internet, I would have to use the landline to go online. It would always make noises, and sometimes my family would get upset because we wouldn't receive any calls. -
One of my early memories in grade school was in 4th grade when my school implemented a computer lab. The first thing our teacher had us do was learn how to type on a computer and help us create a Hotmail account. My very first email was maily_ramos@hotmail.com. -
In middle school, my teachers would use overhead projectors to go over the material and they would wipe them down with a wet towel after we were done. Sometimes, at the end of the school day I would see teachers cleaning piles of acetate sheets they used during class. Much of my learning was done using this method.
