Paper & Pencil
During my elementary school years, all my papers were written with paper and pencils. Our final draft was written on a "fancy" page with lines and to the back of it we would glue a colored contrustion paper. -
Computer Lab
In elementary school, there was no such thing as computers in the classroom. We had a designated day of the week where we would go the "Computer Lab". Where there where about 20 to 30 of the biggest and slowest computers known to man. During this time we mainly used it for typing lessons. -

Microsoft Office
In 6th grade, we all took a Microsoft Office & Photoshop computer class. They thought us the different uses for each MS program. Such as Word, Publisher and the all-time favorite Powerpoint. After this, all group projects were done as a powerpoint presentation -
Laptops, Sidekicks & Blackberries

Cd's > Flashdrives > Dropbox
Through my time in school, everything shifted from being saved & shared through CD'S & flash drives to being uploaded to things like Dropbox. -
WiFi
Up until now, I had only used dial-up, broadband and cable internet. It wasn't until this time that WIFI became incredibly fast, reliable & accessible almost everywhere. -
Google Drive
Aaa, the era of MS documents took a hit. My Highschool teacher made us all create a professional usable e-mail. The rest of my high school papers were due through google drive and/or e-mail. We also used google drive to create school surveys. -
