My evolution in Electronic Literacy

Do you remember how do you started to use electronic tools? It is important for you to use the technology to improve your literacy? Electronic tools are always evolving and they also had new benefits for us. Ten years ago I started use internet just to have an e-mail account but nowadays I could improve my L2 practicing with exercises or electronic activities, but I think there are a lot of possibilities in a future.

My first contact with electronic tools like internet was when I had 11 years because I did my first e-mail account, but I didn’t have any contacts. Then when I was 15 years I create my MSN account in where I can chat with my friends. I remember that one of my first tools to do my homework at primary and secondary school was the Encarta Encyclopedia. When I was 17 I create my account of Myspace, where I can meet many people and a lot of music bands.

Nowadays I use electronic tools not just to entertain purposes but to improve my English, read and found information that helps me in my homework. For example, while I’m doing this essay, I use a tool that helps me to know if my orthography or my vocabulary is clear. Also I can find a lot of exercises to use and practice my L2. For entertainment and updating uses I recently create my Facebook account, I don’t really like it too much but is useful to find people that you know.

Technology is in constant changing, so I hope I can actualize myself into the new electronic tools. I don’t know what will come in a future related to technology but I think it will be really dynamic and interactive, not only with a machine but with other people. As a future teacher I will have the chance to research a lot of tools that helps me to give a class, as interactive exercises or maybe virtual reality.

In conclusion electronic tools give us a lot of advantages and possibilities to improve our literacy and also to entertain us. I think we have to adapt or adjust to new technologies and tools to be in constant actualization. In general I think we must learn how to use electronic tools because nowadays they are really useful.

Essay about me

Do you have a blog on internet? Do you share personal information with the entire world? Are you interested in meeting new people or making new friends? Humans are constantly in communication and we usually talk about ourselves with other people. I would like to share some information about me in order for you to know who I am, what I like and what I don’t, and things I like to do, just like we always do it in a personal web page.

The first thing you should know about me is that my name is Mario, but some people call me wize, and I’m 21 years old. I’m living in Aguascalientes, Mexico and nowadays I’m studying ELT in UAA. Physically I’m a tall guy and very slim, people say me I should eat more to gain weight but I am not worried about that. I had brown eyes, a small mouth and a kind of big nose. I hate my hair because it isn’t lank but it isn’t curly, a kind of kinky so it is really hard to comb. In general I think I’m not a handsome guy but I don’t think I am ugly, I think I’m just another normal guy.

Now you should know some things I like and dislike. Music is one thing that I love; I like to listen to different kinds of music like rock, punk, hardcore, hip hop, pop, ska and many others styles. Some of my favorite bands are Green day, Nirvana, My chemical romance, Blink 182, Offspring, Zoe, Panic at the disco, etc. On the other hand I hate children’s music and duranguenze style; however, I respect people who like it. Talking about food I like potatoes, pizza, chicken and Chinese food but I don’t like beans, avocado, onion and some dishes of Mexican food. My favorite dessert is vanilla flan but I hate chocolate brownies.

Finally I would like to share some things I like to do. Music is very important for me, so I enjoy a lot to go to concerts and see band shows, I think there are many bands with a lot of talent but they need more support. Another thing related to music that I like to do is playing the drums, I took some lessons years ago but I have to practice more. I also like to go out with my friends to parties, concerts, etc. Sometimes I like to be alone in my room reading or just listening music.

In conclusion I think I’m just another person in this world that likes to share some personal information with other people. I think that talking about ourselves is important because many people just take importance on the first impression or the people's appereance but they don't know more about the likes or feelings, and they could have a wrong impression. Now, I hope you have a good impression about me, if not I don’t really care too much.
