Those Darn Kids and Their New-Fangled Technology Think back to when you were a child in elementary school. What technology did you have in the classroom? How did it make you feel about learning? What was your favorite technology? Did you love to run the filmstrip projector for your teacher or get excited when the librarian wheeled a giant TV and VCR into your classroom? Did you have computers or tablets? Compare the technology of your childhood to either what you or your children (or a friend or relative’s children) have in the classroom now. What would you like to have had in your classroom when you were their age?
