My Evolution in Electronic Literacy

Electronic literacy has been one of the most important issues in the last decades and it has become an essential tool for many people. At the moment of using electronic tools I can say they are important because I as an English teacher in training they give me different ways of improving my second language or they can help me to find information when researching. 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 to study in the university I had to begin using them because of homework, assignments, research, etc. Therefore, I created my electronic mail in order to send homework, to receive documents, etc. Then, I created blogs, social networks to share information, to have fun and so on. So, it was the way 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 propaedeutic 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 very important at the moment of doing educational or professional research.  They are useful to find papers from different authors so at the moment of doing researches I can find opinions from diverse compositions that can help me to create my own. So, as a future teacher of a second language I will need to find helpful strategies or techniques in order to help to improve the teaching of a second language, therefore electronic tools can be useful to research about this topic. Then, educational and professional research is easier when electronic tools are used.

 As a conclusion, electronic tools have been important for me in many aspects because through them I can improve my language and to do professional or educational research. The contact with electronic tools has helped me to have fun, share ideas and opinions, and to learn many things from other people. So, my evolution in electronic literacy has been very important because to be in contact with electronic tools has given me the opportunity to do better things.
