My first year teaching full time, I had use of the overheard projector so that I could make less copies and use less paper.

In my last year full time teaching, whiteboards were installed and I was able to incorprate them into my lessons.

Once my computer was connected to the whitebaord projector, I was able to make more exciting lessons with PowerPoint.

Upon returning home I began substitute teaching. Here computers were more commonly used in the classroom and in large computer labs.

At some of the schools, mainly elementary or in special needs classes, I had access to a smartboard, which the students and I loved to use.
