How did this change occur, and when? en-us 2023-02-05 06:54:26 UTC 2026-02-01 06:07:59 UTC hello@padlet.com ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469194745 Even though some technologies like the radio and projector screens were used in some classrooms across the U.S, My grandmother did not attend one of those classes. In fact, from when she first started school in 1938 and graduated college in 1955- she never used any form of technology in her classes. Only paper, pencils, and books!]]> 2023-02-05 20:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469194745 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469197454 Calculators and Projector screens were the ONLY technology my father used in any classrooms he attended. He dropped out of college in 1979. Even though they had TVs at home, they weren't common in classrooms at all then. ]]> 2023-02-05 20:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469197454 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469199359 When he first began school, he used overhead projectors, which were the projectors you could use to present physical papers to a large classroom. Calculators were obviously used, and SmartBoards had started becoming common nationwide. His teachers had computers, and there was a computer lab, but computers weren't used for school like how they are now. ]]> 2023-02-05 20:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469199359 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469201522 At my elementary school growing up, we used computers, though my brothers didn't. I remember having a computer lab, and going there after school to play games. We didn't start using them for school until middle school, where we used laptops for tests and assignments. SmartBoards were used everyday since I was in kindergarten!]]> 2023-02-05 20:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469201522 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469202088 The most common and useful technology used in classrooms were first invented in 1987, but weren't seen in every classroom for years to come. ]]> 2023-02-05 20:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469202088 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469206662 Some teachers brought radios into classrooms, but for the rest of America, they were just now introducing any form of technology into their lives. They didn't just have landlines now, which became common in American households in the 1910's. This is the beginning of the technologically advanced society of present day!]]> 2023-02-05 20:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469206662 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469210953 When we think of the internet, it is not very similar to when it first was invented, and it especially wasn't used in classrooms worldwide. This was just another technological advanced that shaped classrooms into how they are today, but needed time to develop before being placed in classrooms.]]> 2023-02-05 21:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469210953 ama2162355_2 https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469216383 In the 2010's and early 2020's, we use almost every piece of technology we have for school. Phones, tablets, computers, graphing and scientific calculators, AI and virtual reality, and a million applications we can use with this technology! The possibilities really are endless, and even making this timeline I used many forms of technology. ]]> 2023-02-05 21:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ama2162355_2/imvwisww41cp645h/wish/2469216383
