Taste that image

This has DVD. We had those not. Only VHS.

So I'm probably alone here, but I hated it. It was always some weird education show and it was back before anyone even pretended that accessibility was a thing, so there's deaf me in the classroom sitting through some confusing and frustrating who knows what, praying there weren't going to be questions afterwards, as the only concession ever made to my inability to hear it was I was allowed to come to the front... where the deafness would go away, I assume?

Excitement filled our little hearts when the teacher would roll this into the classroom. 🤣

"If I'm old enough". You youngsters with your modern tech. We had 16mm film reels and before that even some of those slide stick things where you play the record and when you hear the bong you push the stick sideways to line up the next slide. Also - shout out to those who sniffed the freshly mimeographed handouts.

Back in my day, we didn’t have a vcr and tv…back in the 70’s and 80’s we had a film projector and the teacher always had to fight with it for 20 minutes to get it to work…then pull down the projector screen if he was tall enough to reach it. We watched films that were from the 50’s and 60’s. “Here we see the cell dividing. This is called mitosis”…..most boring films ever in science class ! lol

In elementary school, I once saw a cart get caught on the sidewalk and tip over. The TV shattered, as did my heart.

We have one of those collecting dust in our gym locker room

We watched Watership Down in the gym when I was at Primary school. Half of us ended up in tears. On VHS though

Or when you walk in and see the reel-to-reel projector...

If you were lucky, one kid in class had one of those watches that turned the TV off....

We had slide projector.

The first thing that popped into my memory is 9/11. We dragged one of these into our work area to see the news. You know, before we got evacuated. Sad and scary day.

I remember when an actual 8mm film projector was used.

I used to be so excited to see the TV and then you found out it was used in the class before yours and wasn't for your class! 😭

Tv cart? We had reel to reel projectors

The last one of those I saw was when I was a Junior in high school. It had a Laserdisc player, and a DVD player. The school had one Laserdisc. It was something about national parks and applied to absolutely no class. Kind of a waste really. We watched Candyman on it in health class. Yes, my health teacher did not care about much.

It's only years later, when I became a teacher myself, that I realised these machines were used to cure hangovers.

Literally gave me butterflies seeing this image. How wonderfully easy science class was just watching that glorious box

My school has these. The videos had the worst picture quality. Every time

lol, still have one of these in my garage. Got it at a “ college garage sale.”

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUYYY

Easy day

Bliss

We only had B&W on a 12" screen. 3 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS. Period.

My one teacher was famous for telling us after the movie that we had to write a summary of the movie

Lol ...we had reel to reel

yesssss

VHS ONLY

Magical!

lol no. That has a projector and a DVD player in the picture. There is nothing nostalgic here.

Sir, tell us that you have a hangover without talking.

Oh man that was glorious. Didn't matter if the movie sucked as long as it wasn't a regular class. Though the heartbreak was real when you came in and saw it the teacher said "that was for the last class". That crushed me bad

billllllllll

Kids Still do this, so there's still hope for humanity 😁

There was a choice?

Putting Elmer's Glue on the bricks then peeling it off.

Bring this back Microsoft

How do people turn them on now? I still do this

My trust in all videos was broken at this moment

I was the chess icon.
