3rd Grade students had a rare treat this week - when Baxter's dad heard we have been studying computer history he offered to lend us a couple of specimens from his collection of old computers. Students got to play Lode Runner on an Apple II , had a look at a simple program on an old Mac, and typed a message on a 30 year old laptop. They were also fascinated by the rotary phone and the antiquated modem. Students also shared the results of the 'Old(ish) Person Interview' they had conducted for homework; they were appalled to hear how little technology we used to have in the 'old' days!
