Growing up in the 70s and 80s had many new digital advancements, I guess I am dating myself!
I was fortunate to experience many of them.
- My walkman: Making mixed tapes!
- My Typewriter: Always making mistakes and needing to start over AGAIN!
- Beta Machine: Recording a movie, then accidentally recording over it! đ
In the early 80s, my very first digital technology experience was when my brother and I got our Intellivsion II! It was a Christmas present and parents had my relatives from USA to ship it here to Canada! We were one of the first to have one!! We played it for hours!!
Today I am not a gamer and I have very few games on my iPad, but having something before anyone else still is a part of me. I am the âgadget girlâ! I am the person in the family who always have the latest and greatest digital technology. It has also filtered into the classroom, where I am the teacher who asks the administration for the âtechie stuffâ and I know my students appreciate the innovating digital tools to enhance their learning.
