Panel: "Using Technology to Enhance Learning"

The English Department of the University of Puerto Rico makes for two days an activity called: Student Interventions in General Studies: Interdisciplinary and Creative Initiatives. This activity permit to some students of English to present few of his writings. In this panel the presenters talk about the technology. They focus to present, how the technology help the students to interact better with the professor using the different platforms the internet offer. One of the platforms they speak was Google Plus. They choose the Google Plus platform because is free and have many options to have pages to receive or send information. When this student’s talk about how they can interact with his professor using the internet, I think was great. I think that the internet is a very useful tool, because is more rapidly if we have a doubt to clarify with the professor.

When I came to the university I understand the important and helpful the internet pages can be. In the beginning I just have an email, but the university provided me the access to another known as blackboard and another account of email. In these part of mi life I beginning to use more and more the internet, because it has become the communication medium not only in the class room but also outside. This year I make this blog page that permit me interact with my classmates better. Because sometimes we don’t have the time to talk in class, or to finish some details of the work and this page let us to be more close and be a better team of work. In other hand permit us to know each other. The internet is a very helpful tool if we used properly.
