Electronic Literacy

Electronic literacy has been one of the most important issues in the last decades and it has become an essential thing for many people. At the moment of using electronic tools we can say they are important because in our case they give us different ways of improving our second language or they can help us to find information when researching about any topic. Then, the way How I started using electronics tools, how they have improved my L2 and how they are important when I am doing educational or professional research are the main topics in this essay.
Electronic tools were something new when I started my major. They were totally new for me because I had not had any contact with them, but when I started my career I had to start using them because of homework, assignments, blogs, etc. For example, our writing teacher asked us for a blog, so we had to create one because it was part of our grade and because we had to share our compositions to the group and we had to give feedback to each other in order to improve the writing mistakes that we had. Then, it was how I started using electronic tools.
 As I started using electronic tools, I began to take advantage of them because I wanted to improve my L2. Nowadays, when I want to improve my English skills I just look for some web pages that can help me to understand some grammar or writing rules. For example when I was in propedeutico course my listening and speaking teacher established a program with a school from the U.S. and it helped me to improve my listening and speaking skills and I knew a little bit about the English culture. Therefore, electronic tools have been an important factor in the improvement of my L2.
Electronic tools are so important at the moment of doing educational or professional research.  They can help us to find papers from different authors so at the moment of doing a research we can find different opinions from different compositions that can help us to create our own. So, as future teachers of a second language we will need to find new strategies or techniques that can helps us to improve the teaching of a second language, therefore we can use the electronic tools that can help us to make a research about this. Then, electronic tools are important within the educational or professional research.
As a conclusion, the electronic tools have been important in many aspects when using them. They can help us to improve our language and to make professional or educational researches. In my case, the contact with the electronic tools have helped me to find discussion boards, chat rooms, blogs, wikis, which have helped me to improve my English skills. Then, electronic tools are an important factor in our career.

"Me"

How am I like? Few people really know me very well; they know everything that characterizes me, and they can mention many aspects related to me. But there are some people who do not know me very well; they just know me because they see me everyday or because they have talked to me twice or three times. So, I want those people to know some details about me such as my personality, likes and dislikes.


My personality is one of the points I want people to know. I can define myself as a patient person because I like to listen to other people when they are in trouble or when they need advice; I am there to help them all the time. Also, I can say that I am a friendly person. I enjoy giving my love to others, sharing my experiences and funny moments with them.

Another thing that I would like people to know about me is about what I like. One of the many things I love is music, because it is a good way of relaxing when I am stressed. I listen to music and try to forget everything. I also like basketball. It is my favorite sport because it allows the team work in order to get an objective which is to win. Those are the two things that I really love doing.

As the rest of people, there are some things I do not like. Heavy metal is a kind of music that I do not like. Some people say it is a good, but I personally think this kind of music is very noisy and that the people who sing it have mysterious lifes. Waking up early is another thing I dislike. Well, I think most of the people agree with me. I hate hear the alarm every morning to wake very early to get school on time. These are some of the things I do not like much.

As a conclusion, I am characterized by my personality, the things I like and dislike. Now, the people, who did not know many details related to me, know me better. They already know how I am like, what I like and what I do not, and they can say that I am a usual person as anybody else.
