Session 1 (Experience)

I love the websites that Dr. Newberry posted for us to look at. It brought back many memories.

My biggest memory was going to my cousin's house to use her Apple II computer. My two favorite games were Oregon Trail and the Olympic Decathlon. The joystick for the computer was the best, moving it back and forth real quickly to do a certain event. The graphics then had no affect on me. I was so mesmerized how we could control what was happening on the screen. I went back and played a little bit of Oregon Trail with the website that was posted.

I also had the Palm Pilot but didn't use it to its fullest potential. It was a device that held important dates in the calendar, with some notes on the side.

If the laptop is considered a mobile device, then I've used it a lot for education. My students have also used the laptops for learning.

Here's an article that I found about mobile devices.
