@kdriscoll @martin That takes me back… one of my early jobs in #EdTech was providing in-lab support for a university summer writing program attended by many teachers. We had 20 Macintosh Plus units (the ones with two 3.5” floppy drives and no HD) and most of the participants came shyly into the lab saying they’d been told to try writing on the computer (rather than the electric typewriters they had all brought from home). I would promise them they could leave after 15 minutes if they couldn’t get comfortable with the Macs, get them started typing their first paragraphs, and then a few minutes later I would come back to show them how to use the mouse to find and fix a typo or change a word they’d ALREADY TYPED. They were hooked. By the end of the three weeks, I was writing and distributing flyers on how to choose a home computer. (Hands up if you remember white out and “eraser” tape… two hands if you learned to type on a manual typewriter!) #TechNostalgia #TheMacIsNotATypewriter
