I remember sitting in the computer lab with the blue Apple MacBook laptops. We used them mostly for games and basic typing. It was my first real exposure to school technology. -
By upper elementary, I began practicing typing on larger desktop keyboards. Programs like “Type to Learn” helped me get faster and more accurate. -
Later, iPads became a big part of learning. I used them for reading passages, writing short responses, and some educational apps. -
In 6th grade at a charter school, every student got a Chromebook. We submitted assignments through third-party platforms and practiced online assessments. -
Middle school meant daily use of Google Docs and Google Classroom. Everything—essays, projects, and homework—was turned in online. -
In high school, technology was fully integrated. I used Google Drive to organize my files, Slides for presentations, and Classroom to turn in every assignment. -
In college, technology became even more advanced. I used online research databases, Zoom for classes, and in chemistry courses I did virtual lab simulations.
