My Experience in ELO

5 months of going into this course, I didn't expect to write this much posts. At around 4th grade, I had a terrible time on composing one paragraph. Can you see the difference? I think I have improved a lot since then. 

When I first stepped in class, I didn't know what to do. I was the first student that had arrived and the only thing I saw was a metal box with a lock attached to it. Minutes later, I could only see guys going in class. I admit, I was scared that I might be the only girl in class. Luckily, there were 3 of us. The moment Mr. Stardom told us that we would be using iPads, I was real surprised! I have an iPad at home so using it wouldn't be that hard for me. 

The next couple weeks, it was when we first used the iPads. It was when I realized that the metal box I saw before, had iPads inside it. Using it was really fun though multitasking from a page to another was hard to achieve. It was a bit complicated because, sometimes, the pages wouldn't load and some of my posts would be deleted. 

I have a conclusion, though. In the future, probably, I think schools would be using iPads for every course they have. It would be great as students would have more resources for their work but the bad side is, students would be dependent on them. They would always rely on the information given but we wouldn't know if these are accurate. Though technology is amazing, it's not always better. I prefer being simple as its much easier to use and manage.

... and that was the experience I had; experiences that will never be forgotten.
