READING COMPREHENSION Technology and Self-Growth

Learning is an essential part of our life, and it is a long process.

For that reason, you should learn something new every day.
This is personal growth, which could give you better life
opportunities. You began our academic formation some years
ago. Since then, you have experimented and incorporated much
knowledge and many technologies, during your elementary,
junior high school and high school studies. For example, the
traditional classrooms with blackboards and shelves of books
have been improved with whiteboards, computers, and
multimedia devices.
When education could incorporate technology, the concept of
teaching got a new dimension. This dimension implies that it is
not necessary to be in a classroom with a teacher for learning. It
is possible to learn using learning tools. Some of them are:
computers, which permit you to search for information using internet. As the Internet is a network
of global exchanges, including private, public, business, academic and government networks,
people can have profound knowledge about many topics. Also, it is possible to ask for information,
to clarify ideas, to share images using an e-mail. The Internet also offers the possibility of
participating in video conferences. Some examples of this type of communication are Zoom and
Google Meet, used for working or teaching. So, you had better ready for the new changes that
are approaching to you. Some of you would prefer no more changes, but life goes beyond. Be
ready to continue your self-growing.

Next week, I will have two videoconferences by Zoom and Google Meet. I do not

know much about them. One of my friends said to me “You should download the

software first”. When I heard the word “software”, I did not understand what it meant. So, I

turned on the computer, and I searched some information in internet.

My friend saw what I was doing he told me that I could visit some sites like YouTube.
