My own objectives using electronics tools.





























Why a lot of people nowadays use electronic tools? Definitively the electronic tools are the most amazing invent. Fortunately or unfortunately this invent involves the entire world. Obviously all the aspects related with the electronic tools can be good or bad talking especially the internet. In my personal point of view, the good aspects of the electronics tools are: It is easy to find a lot of useful information, pictures, books and more, you can communicate with people around the world also you can create your own space for showing the world your personality or your work (talking about academic areas), but everything has a negative side. Nowadays, it is very common to find sites, where some people use the internet in a negative way. Sometimes the use of these sources is for making money doing illicit acts. For this reason, I consider good and amazing, moreover bad and destructive the electronic tools. In the following essay you will find my experience using this kind of tools. The things that I love and hate about electronic tools and the importance that the electronic tools in my major.


My experience using electronic tools is very conventional. I have been used the electronic tools most of the times by academic purposes. The electronic tools that I have been using are: portable translator, I consider that the use of the portable translator is wonderful, obviously only for looking for specific words in this way you can increase your vocabulary, which you will apply in compositions and academic works. Other tool that it is similar to portable translator, is the on line dictionary, this kind of dictionaries represent another source, that you can use for knowing new vocabulary and the correct meaning of unusual words Other and the most important tool is the internet, the internet had been helped me to improve English skills like listening, to find images for my classes, one of the my favorite use of the internet is with Skype, through this program I have learned the lifestyle of native speakers, idioms, and I improved my pronunciation of some words and obviously I have improved a lot talking about listening skills. The use of blogs is something that I am practicing; I like to have my own space, I like to share to my classmates my thoughts or opinions, like in this essay. I do not like to use a lot the internet for socializing; I do not like to share my personal information with people from other countries or people that I do not know. Finally, about the use of e- mail, I consider the e- mail like the best and fast way for establishing communication. In my personal opinion is very useful and practical.


The use of electronics tools is something hard to me, actually I do not like to use it, but I recognize their importance and the amazing things that we can create by using technology. The things that I love about electronics tools are: The amount of time that you can save, looking for information, the quantity of information that you can handle, it does not matter the distance. Anther program that I love about electronics tools, is the program named “Movie maker”, I consider this program something very interesting, because you can show all your creativity to others. About the things that I hate using electronic tools, is the strict use of computers, I really hate them, because sometimes it is complicated, for example is very common that, when you want to present a topic in Power Point presentation and the computer does not work, or when is very hard to access to a specific webpage and it is impossible for a lot technical reasons. I consider that this is my main reason about to other kind of electronics tools I believe that I do not have problems.


The use of tools in my major is something basic and essential. I consider this like excellent, even though I hate computers, because if I will dedicate all my life to language teaching, I believe that there is not a better way for teaching by using technology. The fact in the most of my subjects the use of electronics tools is essential and obligated. To create spaces like this blog and others is an excellent beginning for having close contact with the technology, because the future subjects of my major will demanded the use of technology of electronics tools we are preparing for using it. I know the program of other majors in the country, that has the same purpose like my major, obviously with different name, and it does not include technology in its programs, something that I consider an especial opportunity for us.

As a conclusion, I want to mention that, my main purpose in this and the following semesters is to improve my knowledge using technology and electronics tools. I need to be closer about their use, because that I mentioned before: “The use of electronics tools in the class room is the best way for teaching a second language”. I consider to this process like hard to me, but not impossible, there are things that I love and I hate about it, I have my personal point of view too, but also I recognize the importance of the electronics tools and all the wonderful things that you can do by using technology.
