Blog #1 Technology and Learning

Technology has a huge impact in improving our way of living and our education. Apparently, most, if not all schools uses as many technologies as they can to improve their learning experience.

My experience with technology and learning has started when I first used the computer for the first time; I used the calculator to do some homework for school and was impressed. Also since the first time I was introduced to the Internet, I have been thinking how is it possible to see a picture posted by a person in another country and be able to watch and read things posted by others and this was one of the things that made me choose my major, which is computer technology specialized in Network Technology. I have always wanted to know the details.

I feel lucky having technology around whenever I need it; I cannot say how important technology is in my life and how it is one of the most powerful tools that helps me and other students in our education. For example, without the internet and online courses, how can someone study while having to work? Also another example is writing papers on the computer instead of handwriting.

Technology is a great tool that helps with education, with all these online databases, libraries with books and articles; it helps everyone with their researches.

I know there are too many stories where learning and technology intersected, and I think the best story is what we are doing now in this class, we are using technologies like computer, websites, applications and the internet to learn and connect with each other.
