15 minute writing

How has technology affected the way that you learn? include one specific example on how it has been a detriment or a boon to my learning.

As part of future school, there are many opened platforms which enable common spaces for educational absorb to take place, such as blogger, googledocs, wikispaces, facebook, tumblr, and much more! For me, I think that technology has been a boon to my learning, as it bears very favourable outcomes. Ultimately, technology has widened my scope of learning, increasingly opening up the various platforms to receive extra information.

Technology, plays a very heavy role in our learning. Not only can it be used as a communication, or entertainment platform, it can also be used as an educational platform, and adds a boost to our self-learning.

For example,  my group and I had trouble meeting up to discuss many aspects of the book To Kill A Mockingbird, and time was running out. The assignment was due very soon but we all had insufficient time to finish it. But through googledocs, we all could access it through our own computers, at anywhere, anytime, hence the convenience.; it thus acted as a ever-present realm that was stable, controlled, and exquisite. In other words, we had to accomplish a task through online lesson, through brainstorming and discussion, and fortunately this googledocs platform allowed such communication to take place.

In all, technology does not only open up our learning to other disciplines, but also possess powers of communication, which saves time, and brings about convenience. This technology has brought about favourable outcomes, and interestingly helpful facets to solving our problem, and therefore is a remarkable boon.
