We would go into the computer lab where they had those big and boxy computers set up and play typing games that would teach us to type and see how fast we could type.

We would still go to the computer lab every week to do some kind of assignment on the computer, usually typing games or painting on the computer. We would also get to watch movies every once in a while, wehre the teacher would bring in the big rolly TV and everyone knew it was movie day!

This was the year we did animal projects! We got to all pick an animal and do a report on it. We would get to go into the computer lab to do research on our animal. We got to print pictures and find out all kinds of cool facts about our animal.

Around 4th grade is when people would start getting computers in their homes, and the kids were allowed to play on them. I remember I would get home from school, do my homework, and immediately want to go play on the computer. I would play club penguin, or I had those little animals that you could connect to an account and they would act as if they were real, but I forget what they were called.

We would use projectors in class this year. Not the fancy ones we have now where we can just put a paper under a camera and have it shown on the screen. We had the ones where the teacher would have to print the paper on clear plastic, and only use expo markers on it. They had to have the page on the big box that had a light under it. But if the teachers weren't careful and left it on for too long, it would get really hot and they wouldn't be able to write on it anymore!

This is when all the google accounts were created and group projects would be done on google docs or google drive. It was so cool to be typing at the same time as your friends on a document!
