Sam Timeline3

A personal timeline of educational technology

Overview

My name is Sirichoke Namsong, and people call me “Sam”.

I started school in 1983 in Sakon Nakhon, Thailand.

I graduated from high school in 1989 in Sakon Nakhon.

I first went to college at Krasetsart University, Bangkok in 1989, but for the next year I moved to Rachabhat Sakon Nakhon University

When I finish my master’s degree, I aspire to be a lecturer at the Rachabhat Sakon Nakhon University.

All kinds of innovations and ideas that are used for educational purposes. Educational Technology can be processes, strategies, infrastructures, and materials that help us learn better, faster, easier, and more effectively and need not necessarily be a cutting edge tool or a bag full of magic tricks.

Kindergarten technology At that time, I experienced only chalk, blackboard, puppetry and stuffed toys. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/clipart/default.aspx

High school technology I first learned English as a foreign language by listening and watching cassette tapes and videos from BBC because there was no native English teachers at my school then. We subsequently had new excitements from computers and emerging of CD-ROM. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/clipart/default.aspx

College technology Computers were wildly used in the college, it started with MS-DOS, Window 3.2, Win 95, and Win 98. Moreover, there were scanners, color printers, internet access, digital cameras, and CD writers available in two big computer labs in the college. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/clipart/default.aspx

A vivid technology learning experience

During my brief part-time job in college, I chanced on the Photoshop program on an idle iMac. Since then, I was thoroughly impressed by the cool aspects of photo editing and am still learning new features everyday.
