My Evolution in Electronic Literacy

 Nowadays the use of electronic tools such as computers, internet and cell phones, have become very important in my life. Electronic Literacy is helpful to many aspects for example knowledge, knowing new people, communication, working, school or simply to spending time. For this reason in my life the electronic tools have had huge impact. Do you want to know how, or why? I just can say that Electronic Literacy has been necessary for many aspects in my life.

The first use of electronic tools in my life was when I was 8 or 9 years old, I was in elementary school and I took a computer science class. It was very fun because it only was games, and I could learn how to use the word software and the elementary tools of internet. This course was very practical, because I learnt to search information and to write some documents; in addition I used it to write letters, messages for my friends or family. When I started to use the computer I did not know the importance that it would have in the next years on my life.

Nowadays electronic literacy has influenced on my education, especially on my major. Since I started studying ELT it was needed to manage different electronic resources. Most teachers ask us to use at least internet, for example in listening and speaking class we had to practice with audio, videos, movies, or search any information. During my major I have used different electronic tools such as online dictionary, practicing any skill, uploading exercises, using and creating blogs, all those elements were vital to improve my English. In this major helpful to use the electronic tools to make presentations or have communication with native speakers for this I use the messenger, facebook, hotmail or other social network which contributed to improve my English Language.

As a future teacher I would like to look for tools that improve the English. As teachers it is important to use more interesting and dynamic activities instead of keeping traditional classes. One or two months ago I watched a program about the use of new technologies, one of these technologies was the electronic board, and it was useful for student who interacted their knowledge and activities and it is easier to use because it is touchable; however other electronics tools are the activities through internet such as videos, movies, conversation clubs, etc., because I already know that surfing in internet we can find helpful WebPages, platforms, virtual libraries and online courses. Electronic Literacy will be useful to teach another language.

As a conclusion Electronic Literacy has become a vast effect in our days, because it has been important for improve our knowledge, in my case my English. The use of these tools has been useful to communicate with my family and friends and practicing any skills or simply to spent time. The use of this tools is important use it since you were a child; because, it has many benefits for school, life. You can learn anything about any topic or whatever you like to searching any information, know about something. You have to know that a literate person is not whom is able to write or read, if not whom know to use the electronic tools.
