Internet skills

In the other hand, we have internet which works along with computers and due to its popularity, we obtain several benefits from it. I the course I took which I mention before, there were classes in which the teacher taught us how to use the internet, that is, how to look information properly. Something he also taught us was how to upload the webpage we designed. I know that there are several new computer programs that make it easier to design a web page so people can have more contact with people through the web. Using the web may seem an easy task, but it can be easier if we learn from any source how to use it properly. Adults are less skillful at computers but some of them struggle to keep updated. Kids in the other hand are pretty skillful now and they impress adults with their expertise at computer tasks. I think that private schools specially.


Often we find the necessity of using a computer and I think about the problem we could face if we were offered a job in which the only impediment we have is that we have to have a basic knowledge about computer. We as teachers have to master some of the most needed computer programs and internet tool otherwise our students can become our teachers in some areas, but putting this point aside, we have to take advantage of any resource to make our work easy. I really find useful my computer to prepare material for my classes and to prepare my lesson plans. I also use some tools like electronic dictionaries to look up words. Internet also provides several resources for making a class enjoyable and meaningful for the students. Internet and computers provide teachers and students with tools and sources that drag education from a traditional sphere making it fun, understandable, sociable and updated. So undoubtedly, we have to master our skills and start enjoying what this tools offer.

My computer and Internet skills

Definitely we are making easier our lives through the use of technology. We apply computer knowledge everywhere and at any moment.


I have heard that people in the past had to do everything in handwriting, but suddenly computers and typing machines appeared to make the workers and students’ lives easier. In these days, computers are popular and are used anywhere. There are thousands of tasks that can be developed in computers, and in addition to that, this technology continues evolving, so it is necessary that we keep updated in order to not to remain behind of the technological world. What can be implemented is that schools throughout the country have their own computer labs so the new generations of students don’t have the same lack of computing knowledge. But we witness the reality in which schools of the suburbs or from rural places don’t have these privileges. In my particular experience I can say that my school didn’t have such resources and that’s why I started High School without any computer knowledge.


Being in a classroom where the majority of the students had a basic knowledge about computers was difficult for me because it was embarrassing, and my teacher was not so patient to explain the procedures from the beginning. Thanks God I was offered a free coursed sponsored by the MINED in which we were going to learn how to design web pages. There, I learned a lot, starting from basic learning. It really helped me to enter into the technological world that computers offer. My computer skills gained through my academic education have influenced in my learning because I have done many homework assignments using my computer. Undoubtedly computer skills are essential in these days because we do almost everything via computer. Teachers don’t want hand written exams anymore; they want students use this resource since the very beginning of their education.
