One way we used the Internet in the
Library...(1998)
A math class was in my library doing a cooperative learning
lesson on fractions and percentages using M & M packages. The
students wanted to know why the packages were not uniform in
quantity. Cybrary Man immediately had the students email
M&M/Mars. That same day they got the following answer with the
average mix of colors in percentages: “Because of the difference in
the sizes of the individual candy, the number of pieces per package
varies. However, the package should be the indicated weight.”
Times have surely changed. Imagine what you can do now!
My background with computers.
In 1967 I wrote a term paper for a Sociology course and I
predicted teaching machines in the classroom. My professor
gave me a very hard time about that. In 1968 I took a computer
programming class (using punch cards!) In the early 1980's I was on
the Internet and began using computers in the classroom in the late
1980's.
