Film Projector

When the teacher wanted to show us an educational film, he will use this Film Projector. The Film projector did not have sounds only images. Back then this was the greatest thing ever. We loved to wash films because that meant we didn't have to write or read from a book. This definitely helped with my learning experience because looking at images helped me better than reading. I could put a picture on what I was learning. I wish I could show my siblings the new technology now days, but I am the only one alive.

Slide Projector

The teacher will use this slide projector to show us images or pictures. The images were not clear, but we were so mesmerizing by it that we didn't mind. Now days everything is so clear, I wish we had what we have now back then. It has been nice to experience new technology through the years.

Overhead Projector

When I was younger, the newest, modern commonly piece of technology was the Overhead Projector. This was helpful when the teacher was giving her lesson. She will have a clear paper where she will white her lesson, and we could all see it with no problem. She was able to zoom if we couldn't see. If we needed to see past notes, she would change the clear plastic paper with the correct notes. This helped with my learning experience because I was able to see all the notes and write them down.

Apple Tv

Over the years, technology improved, and the most modern equipment was utilized at school. What I use now is an apple tv to mirror any images or videos as needed in my classroom. I can connect to my laptop and play learning videos or read books showing the book on the tv.

Chromebook

I'm young and use a Chromebook at school. This is use for all my classwork. We also have different apps where we can do learning activities. I can check my grades and see if I'm missing any assignments. We can also take our state test for the district to see. If I have any question, I can email my teacher and get the help that I need. She can mirror my computer if I can't explain my problems.

My teachers use a projector when they want to show us notes or any math problems. I like this instead of using a laptop because I like to write with a pencil rather than type. I use my computer at home to do homework so is nice to write at school instead of using the laptop.
