Growing up in the 70s and 80s had many new digital advancements, I guess I am dating myself! <\/span><\/p>\n

My Typewriter:<\/em> Always making mistakes and needing to start over AGAIN!<\/span><\/p>\n

Beta Machine:<\/em> Recording a movie, then accidentally recording over it! \ud83d\ude41 <\/span><\/p>\n

In the early 80s, my very first digital technology experience was when my brother and I got our <\/span>Intellivsion II<\/span><\/a>!

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 \u201cgadget girl\u201d!

It has also filtered into the classroom, where I am the teacher who asks the administration for the \u201ctechie stuff\u201d and I know my students appreciate the innovating digital tools to enhance their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
