To be honest, there was absolutely nothing different in our schools from the 90's into the 2000's. They had piece of crap macs the whole entire time in computer labs. They had piece of crap macbooks for classrooms when they were needed the whole entire time.
By piece of crap, I'm not saying macs are pieces of crap. I'm saying they had old piece of junk computers.
The internet was always slow as all holy hell, because their network would be completely maxed out, and they were too cheap to get it so it would work half decent.
I feel like I heard they got a whole ton of iPads after I left...but I'm not really sure that can even be called a tech enhancement. I don't in any way understand how an iPad "enhances" a classroom experience. Don't get me wrong, the things are cool...but all they will be used for by the students is yet another tool to dick around with and play games on.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
