SWISSDIGITIZATION.CH

During secondary School we just had changed tve computer systems from the zx-spectrum to mac classic.

we didn't really use the computers for much. Mac write and Mac draw were ok. We even produced a school paper with it. The secret hifhlights were Shufflepuck and Leisure Suite Larry.

Later on we didn't really use computers at School. We only programmed a bit BASIC with programmable sharp calculators.

My Performa 630 and later the G4 tower with a 17 inch screen I used mainly for gaming,

I even used to move the whole tower to a friends house for lan parties!

Then came the internet... I got a discette with the "ppp monkey" software and a piece of paper with magical numbers to configurate the system in order to connect to the internet with my 56 modem.

When I started Uni (SFA to become Secondary School teacher myself) I got a Mac Laptop via the Neptun programme.

it had a Dvd burner. Tha was incredible. My friends and I even made a short movie thanks to the tech.

now I'm a teacher myself and we use all technology available to us: macbook air, ipad, the Ultimaker2 3D printer, codebugs, makey makeys, thymios, everything!

i even teach courses in programming (scratch), CAD (fusion 360) and film (imovie).

Lots has changed in the last 30 years...
