Editor's Notes
- Apple II computer in the 80s. Taught as a subject, if you wanted to get into computing as a career…
- Old metal toys
- No helmts
- No sunscreen
- Drink from hose, no water shortages
- Walk to shops alone
- Being sent to your room was a bad thing!
- Bugs bunny was hi tech
- Vhs rental was all we knew
- First cell phones
- Tethered remote control
- First cds? Or records?
- This was research
- Handwritten essays
- Teachers held the answers and let you know them when they thought you were ready
- We taught how to find info using the dewey decimal system.
- That means giving students an education that provides training, support and experiences in managing online resources, tools and their digital footprint
- Notice that in these pictures, handwriting and hand on materials are still being used. This is not replaced, social interactions are important to learning and collaboration online and off are necessary for learning….
