Action Retro sent me here and I am so glad he did. This is adorable! I remember all the Apple IIs and Macs we had at my school. Always felt futuristic compared to the DOS machines I was use to at my friend's houses. I also fondly remember the chorus of boot up chimes as we all sat down in computer class to start our machines! :p
I grew up in the 1980s and my first contact with computers of any sort was in the classroom and it was an Apple II and it hooked me for life. From that point onward I searched up anything I could on programming and got my own 8 bit computer (not an Apple though) soon after. From what I can recall most schools that I was in used their limited number of Apple II's (TRS-80's were common also) in their TAG program (talented and gifted). I can remember arriving early to school to go to the tag room in order to use the apple in order to program or use the dial out MODEM. At home I was a Commodore kid all the way. When I became a junior in high school in 1986 my school offered a computer programming class, which was all Apple IIs using BASIC. By this time I had been programming in BASIC since 1979/80 and had written my own BBS software for my C64. I aced the class with a perfect 100. Many years later after a stint in the military I was back at the University of Oklahoma to finish my degree in computer science education and the school I was student teaching at in 1998 had all Macs. I don't remember the model, but they were actually semi-old already.
I was born in Houston in 1990 and I distinctly remember playing Word Muncher and Kid Pix on my elementary school’s Apple computers. Kid Pix was always my favorite game on those. It was kinda like MS Paint on the bulky Windows desktop my parents had. Except... you know... Kid Pix was good. Among other bits of dedicated art software from that era like Mario Paint for the SNES, I also credit Kid Pix for sparking my interest in animation and art.
For me! Growing up in the 00s, We used eMacs! Remembering playing a lot of Zoombinis and KidPix on it. I also remember the teacher in the class using a Sunflower G4 iMac.
I grew up in Sacramento, CA during the 80s. I was in 2nd grade around 1989. I remember our classroom had an Apple II. I learned a lot about programing and I remember we would make our own images by mapping out each pixel. It was a lot of fun. I remember always playing this Mickey Mouse game where he went to space with Pluto. I would talk about it so much after school that my parents actually got one. My dad's work used IBM so our next computer was a Windows 3.1 machine and every future computer was Windows. I wish we had stuck with Apple.
I really wish I knew what computers my school used. I know we had Macintosh Color Classics, but there was another classroom with older computers with green monochrome monitors and a couple color monitors. My best guess is that they were Apple iis, it's been killing me for years! Anyways, great video! Keep it up.
Having worked on Apple II, II+ machines in elementary, Macintosh and SEs in middle school and iMacs in high school, this video really got me. Wonderful and thank you for it.
Having spent a life working in retail in London, I eventually ended up working in a London School in the 1990s. My experience of computers had been less than inspiring. Eventually I as shown a Mac computer and Claris works 2 and Pagemaker 4. It was a great experience which left me a Mac user. The school used to get discounts on Apple Computers. I don't know if it still happens today. When the Unix server died they started moving over to Windows computers.
Cool video! When my grade school got its first batch of Apple IIs they didn't have a dedicated computer teacher or anyone who was experienced with them, so my grandfather ended up helping the school set them all up. As a retired teacher they even asked him to teach a few class sessions one day a week until the position was funded the next year. Very cool memories of getting out of class early to go help him setup Logo and Number Munchers on all the machines :)
In the UK we had Acorn BBC micros in schools during the 1980s. It’s interesting as Acorn was the birthplace of the ARM cpu (Acorn RISC Machine) about to be used in Apple machines.
I've bought my first Apple computer yesterday. A Macintosh Classic to repair. I've never thought of it on tahat way but this computer changed my life. And I only realised it a few days ago. Pleins de 1 et de 0 à Maccy de Carcassonne.
It is fun, here in the Netherlands we used a lot of MSX , Acorns, Atari machines in schools. MSX is my main machine and i still love it! It is very unknown in the US. I just bought a classic II Macintosh last week and i am learning now from your channel! you describes everything in a funny and very clear way! Thanks! Keep going like this, as it is unique
We had Windows 98 machines when I started school, upgraded to XP in 2005. When I started band class in middle school, my band teacher had an iMac G3. I got extra credit for helping him tear it down to put in more RAM, A 250gb hard drive, an airport card, and reinstall OS/9 and the new (at the time) Tiger. I was in love with Mac ever since.
Our elementary school in the northeast had apple IIe, II+'s and IIc's. We only had 6 in the library. Before our school got them, my dad bought an apple IIe we had in our home for well over 10 yrs. I loved that computer and bought one this year and restored it. We also had mac classics at my university. Thank you for your channel. 🍎
I remember the old Macs in kindergarten. This had to been in 1995. I think they might have been a few years old by that point. It wasn't until the colored iMacs came out that I really remember using computers in school. We had a computer lab full of them. We had a Windows computer at home.
When Broward county here in Florida started to move away from Macs, I was kind of disappointed. When I started high school in 2018, I bought a MacBook Pro because I wanted to continue using Apple products throughout my educational experience. Macs are so user friendly, and I love the seamless integration between the rest of my Apple products. On a different note, I came across your channel by complete coincidence and I’m happy I decided to watch this video! ☺️🖥
Can't believe I hadn't found this channel before. Great video - genuinely interesting, well-researched and presented in an innovative way. Your audience appeal is very broad! Kudos for using 'Return of the Mack' as well 🙂
Where I went to school Mercer County Special Services School District (Which is a regional school district for those with disabilities in the Trenton/Princeton, NJ area) has a relationship with Apple since 1986 as when I was in final year in elementary school we got Apple IIe computers, and we had the IIGS, and Macintosh computers in high school. Still to this day Mercer County Special Services School District uses Apple products.
Hi, very interresting video !! Here in France we have the same type of program in the middle 90's call "IT plan for all" ( plan informatique pour tous ) but not with macintosh but with Thomson MO5 ... Bad computer ... Hopefully I had my macintoshs at home, thanks to dad. And here Pogs was very famous I loved them !! Can't wait for the next video see you Maci !
Watching this got me thinking back to my early computer experiences in school. We didn't have a dedicated one in any of my regular classes, but the library had a few Apple IIe and IIgs in a small computer lab in a portable building. My G/T classes had an IBM PCjr. and an Apple IIe, and when I went to middle school it was all PC based computers. Didn't get to use Macs too often until I was off to college and by that point it was PowerMacs, I cut my teeth learning rudimentary layout and visual design on 7500s. Bought my own Mac in 2003 and haven't looked back since. Love the channel.
Born in San Francisco in 81 and 95 however I had to skip to the East Coast. Something about that time. It was magical almost to learn something as it evolves for me it's kind of like listening to a great piece of song or arts maybe and taking it in and enriches your soul.
I remember the old days all the Apple computers but then in the later part of the 90s schools went to PCs since they were more affordable and better overall.
I was in a news segment in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1989 because we were the first school in the state of Ohio to get computers. I went to Lakeside, Elementary and I don't know if the entire district got them or just us but I remember rushing home to see the segment and being so proud of myself, lol. I can find zero evidence of this online now but I swear it happened. loi
I was born in 90, I vaguely remember kindergarden there being an Apple II of some sort. Then in like 2nd grade it was Macintosh LC's, or some kind of pizza box style Mac, around 3rd and 4th grade was a mix of Powermac 5400 style machines, and G3 All In Ones, and like 5th grade it was iMac G3s. Pretty much was iMac G3s all through middle school. Highschool was mostly Dells running Windows 2000, and a few computer labs still rocking the iMac G3's running OS9
In North Carolina I had the LC, power mac 5400, and the g3 all in elementary school. In middle school we had IBM's with windows 95. Followed by ibms with windows xp
I think a lot of high schools saw the need to “train for the job” rather than teach about creative computing outlets ... which led to Windows PCs in my high school too :(
Excellent video! And if you got back another 10 years, the Bell & Howell Apple II/IIPlus in all it's black finished glory was introduced to the schools via the AV departments. The "Backpack" made it easier for the computers to interface to the TV's on the carts and other BNC equipment in use by AV setups in schools. B&H had contracts with many school systems so it made it easier to make it inside. This campaign really got Apple mainstreamed by then. Excellent video and presentation.
At the schools outside of houston in 87-93 or so, there were nothing but apples for the kids, but the faculty seemed to use IBM PCs. When I went into high school programming class, we used PCs. However, in Jr. high, I took a programming class and we used Apple II. In elementary school, they were really pushing typing more than computer usage, but because we got time after typing drills on Apple II software, they'd let us run Number Munchers and stuff. An elementary school across town I was bussed to on Mondays had just been newly built and thus had all new IIGS in all of their labs, but unfortunately, we didn't get to use them all that often. Thinking back, I think the teachers were a little weary about letting these really nice computers be handled by rowdy kids...lol
So in elementary school we had a secure computer lab. We had computers to help us play games with Math or with reading. In the 10th grade in 1993 our highschool had a bunch of Apple IIe computers. We used them for programming such as how to make it draw a circle etc..
I grew up in the Netherlands. We had BBC-B computers in school. Although at home we had commodores64 and spectrums. Only at university Apples made in our way, but by that time it were of course Macs. I did miss the PET computer in your timeline. Did commodore not sell those to schools in the US/California?
I spent a lot of my time around Apple in my early childhood. Apple IIe, IIGS, and then the Macintosh Classic in around 1990. My step-father had a Macintosh SE (Dual 800K / 20MB) that he gave to me when I was a teen, which I upgraded to 2.5MB of RAM. That carried me throughout high school until 1996. My parents bought a PowerMac 6100/60 when they gave the SE to me. Fun times throughout. I was exposed to XT/286 systems at the same time as the IIe to the Macintosh Classic, but the Macintosh was superior in comparison.
We had Rainbow iMac G3's in our lab in Kindergarten back in '04-'05. It was the first time I was exposed to Apple, but the next year, the lab got remodeled and Dell OptiPlex towers took their place. Thankfully, we eventually got computer carts around '08-'09 with White MacBooks.
Growing up in the 90s, I thought Macintosh held a monopoly on computers since I saw them frequently in elementary and middle school. The only other computer I was exposed to that wasn’t a Mac was a Commodore 64 that my aunt’s friend owned sometime in the 80s/90s (I only learned as I got older of the existence of Windows 3.1, Tandy computers, Amiga, etc) It wasn’t until I gotten to high school that I started seeing Windows based computers (At the time some version of Windows NT before Windows 2000’s release), yet there were still more Mac devices than Windows machines. Most of the Macs I’ve seen and used were situated in ether the library or in a digital graphics classroom while the Windows machines were set up in a computer lab for programs that cannot run on a Mac (and likely to have high schoolers get used to IBM computers) I still remember learning typing in middle school on a System 7/8 computer. I don’t remember which model it was other than I can recall it was an all-in-one form factor that had a built in monitor, two speakers, a CD tray and a floppy drive. Booting up an emulator of SheepShaver with OS 9 does bring up nostalgia of my youth.
WE can't wait for the next episode. Great to see Ms. Fox and Maccy again. I didn't see a PET till high school in 1979. Just the punch card, time share system. I'm old. LOL
My school had nothing but Apple II’s in the first half of the 90s, and they were supplanted by a variety of Windows machines in the late 90s. We never had Macs, probably due to price.
Dear Ms. Fox, My name is Kelly Zapien and I would like to introduce myself I am currently 14 years old and I live in a small town called Newman in California. I have been doing National History Day for four years going on my fifth year. I have a strong passion for the competition. I’m doing a Macintosh project this year I would like to interview you. Sincerely, Kelly Zapien
I heard that Apple actually sent a free computer to every school in the USA, I think when they came out with the Apple IIe, knowing that it would sell lots more computers.
I grew up using Apple IIe and IIgs in high school. But they lost me as soon as they went with this all-in-one form factor with a ridiculously small monitor. Switched to PC until their finally abandoned this BS.
This was really neat, and the 2nd video too about MECC. I queued up the rest of the vids to watch. The cadre of retro mac peeps is really neat. PM'd your IG. I wish I would have found this channel sooner! thx!

There’s something absolutely adorkable about a group of Apple computers playing pogs. ❤️
This reminds me of some old pbs show from the 80's! That's high praise coming from me!

Oregon Trail was such a treat to play in school. It was mind blowing playing "video games" in school!

@@MacintoshLibrarian this has the feel of an educational kids show from PBS from the 80's.
I remember learning how to (blind) type on a Mac Classic (and also how to fool the typing software to get a 100% score haha).

My school had nothing but Apple II’s in the first half of the 90s, and they were supplanted by a variety of Windows machines in the late 90s. We never had Macs, probably due to price.
Those Maccy earrings are gorgeous!
They are so cute! I wear them out sometimes and people think I am a dork
Dear Ms. Fox,
My name is Kelly Zapien and I would like to introduce myself I am currently 14 years old and I live in a small town called Newman in California. I have been doing National History Day for four years going on my fifth year. I have a strong passion for the competition. I’m doing a Macintosh project this year I would like to interview you.
Sincerely,
Kelly Zapien
I love you miss fox
I heard that Apple actually sent a free computer to every school in the USA, I think when they came out with the Apple IIe, knowing that it would sell lots more computers.
.I´m surprised.. this channel is as informative and funny as Sean's..very nice animations also..that ad, lol..09:32
Glad you enjoy it!

Pronounced muh-RIN county.
Apple ]['s coming into my (Kansas) high school back in when I was a Junior (1980) is how I got my interest in programming.
Also like if you think she should make a discord server because I do!
I grew up using Apple IIe and IIgs in high school. But they lost me as soon as they went with this all-in-one form factor with a ridiculously small monitor.
Switched to PC until their finally abandoned this BS.
This was really neat, and the 2nd video too about MECC. I queued up the rest of the vids to watch. The cadre of retro mac peeps is really neat. PM'd your IG. I wish I would have found this channel sooner! thx!
Glad you enjoyed it!
