  • CD-ROMs

    CD-ROMs made learning fun. I explored math, reading, and science through interactive games on our classroom computers.
  • Overhead Projectors

    Overhead Projectors

    Teachers used overhead projectors to display notes and diagrams. I loved helping change the transparencies during lessons.
  • Oregon Trail

  • Microsoft Office

    I created my first school report in Word and a slideshow in PowerPoint. It was my introduction to productivity software.
