My definition of educational technology

sites, or tools used to develop the minds of our students

Kindergarten technology

• We used old apple computers and some newer PC’s

• Restricted use to mainly artistic purposes

High school technology

• We were required to take typing classes but other than that, computer classes were not even offered at this public school

College technology

• I have a major in integrated media with a minor in business

• I have taken many web based design classes but not ANY educational teaching classes

• Mac computers are the only way to go when it comes to design

A vivid technology learning experience

My vision of the classroom of the future
