Utility of Electronic tools in L1/L2
We use them to redact documents, to get information in seconds, to express our opinion without moving from our chair. All these things are possible to do; you just need a computer and internet access, which is the reason for the popularity of these tools. In this essay you are going to read: how I started using those tools, the usefulness of them to me and how they can be used in order to get information.
when I was younger I did not use electronic tools. I used to write all my assignments on pieces of paper and the only element to investigate that I had was a text book from the syllabus. My handwriting was terrible so teachers were always criticizing me; that was annoying, but then I arrived to the C.E.T.i.s 155 where my new teachers taught me how to use them. I would be technician on computing so I needed to learn how to use them. Once I started using them, I never stopped of using them.
About word processors, the most useful word processor for me without a doubt is “Word”, you can also try with “open office” but it is most difficult to use. A word processor is a good tool; it can help you a lot with assignments, homework and more. In my case, word processor helps me find synonyms and antonyms, to modify pictures and of course to redact. That word processor helps me to improve my vocabulary.
What about blogs, e-mails, pages and chats? We can use these resources in order to research about any topic! You can find out any information seen or asked in your classroom. Books will not be your only source now; you will not have limits to research. With these tools you can give your point of view, participate and even write in a blog your thoughts. I use them constantly to do my homework and assignments.
As a conclusion, electronic tools are essential: to formalize and give presentation to any assignment or to get information easily. If you know how to use them, you can get many advantages like doing your homework easier. To get information from blogs, chat rooms, web-cites and e-mails even videos are always good options. You can arrange your information in a word processor and that is all, your assignment will be presentable enough.
