1979

No iPads in the classroom.

We did, however, have an excellent turntable. I have clear memories of bringing in my mom's Beatles records and listening with friends through headphones in the back of the classroom during recess. In many ways, this was a defining moment of childhood and helped influence my decision to pursue a graduate degree in education and career in teaching. Technology in many forms has long been present in the classroom and continues to have the ability to bring students and teachers together in ways that have lasting impact. The iPad represents a significant opportunity to continue this trend and develop new ways in which students can be become active learners and take responsibility for what they learn both in and out of the classroom.
