New Technology for Learning

October 6, 1973 Twin City News-Record

If the video tape player Menasha schools bought in the early '70s is anything like I remember, it's akin to the bulky cumbersome reel to reel variety we used in my speech class at UW-Oshkosh in 1976 (see above). It was big and heavy and traveled from class to class on an AV cart...remember those?  

Still, kudos to the Menasha School District for jumping on the technology track back then.  

Contrast this with the tablet computers that today's elementary students are being issued (and individually, I might add) and one can easily say it's an even more marvelous, wondrous world our kids are learning in today. 

But then, we all thought our transistor radios were the end all and be all at one time too!
