Dealing with Too Much Technology: A Teen's Perspective

# data[].attributes.body
Although I have grown up with technologies all my life growing up like smartphones, videogames, tablets and instant access to everything. You’d think that would make remote learning easy, right? Wrong.

At first, I thought “Great! more time in bed!” But soon, I realized I missed the little things like seeing my friends between classes, asking teachers questions without waiting for an email reply, and just feeling present. I also seem not to get along with the remote learning. I don't know how I always seem to feel lost and I don't understand the simplest system. And talking in general too much screen time can have consequences like: isolation, sleep issues, mental health impact…

I mean, It´s not always bad, In my case I also like studying with technologies like being able to watch videos that makes me understand the subject, also writing long texts without my hand hurting and have all the information in one click.

Sometimes, old-school learning really is better and sometimes remote learning is better, you just have to know which one works the best for you.

Nowadays we live in a world where everything is connected. You can take a photo and immediately is uploaded in the cloud. Besides, the photo can be sent to man shey people (for better or worse...).

With this example I try to make you understand that new technologies has arrived to make our lives easier but sometimes are extremely hard to control what it's on the cloud.

From my point of view, we should take advantage of that. I'm conscious that nowadays we need to adapt to this kind of technologies but elderly people hasn't grown up with all the gadgets that we can purchase today.

Despite we are reaching at a new connected world,where everything is instant and fast (and easier), we must take care about it. Because that can turn the world in a lonely place because of lack of human contact.

Have you ever wondered what a day without the internet would be like?

At present on our society, technology has converted essentially into our everyday lives, since it is used for both professional and leisure purposes.

Additionally, I tell you that the fusion between new technologies and traditional teaching methods offers the opportunity to improve the level of students and at the same time increasing their motivation so that new technologies are very useful tool to students at different levels.

Do you agree with this statement?

I bet you'll have something to say!

Hopoe to hear from you soon!!!

Studying by distance or learn something by yourself on the internet sounds great: no need to wake up early to take the bus, infinite coffe and freedom to study in pajamas. However, being in front of the screen for a long time can be very problematic for your eyes, you can generate backache and it maybe hard to stay focus on what you are doing.

The sedentarism and the falt of intaraction with other people can affect on your motivation to learn. To avoid this is important to have active breaks, maintain a good posture and regulate the exposition to the screen.

Online learning is very cool and useful, but is fundamental to find the balance beetwen tecnology and personal well-being.

If you’re looking for the ideal retirement project, look no further than learning a new language

Maybe you think adults of any age not as good as kids at learning a language.

Yet we all know adult learners who have achieved high levels of fluency and they’re not all blessed with that mythical “language gene”

Either way, learning a new language in retirement could be a great choice. It offers you not just a great mental work-out but also a fulfilling journey of social and cultural discovery.

The hours you spend until you learn how to use new technology platforms are a disadvantage..

Tell your grandmothers these advantages  and also I beg you have a lot of patience with us.

Have you ever heard that expression "so close and yet so far"? Well, that is my personal experience with remote learning and for sure, the same as most of you.

Nowadays, we have all the facilities and tools that all of our parents and grandparents would have loved using, like series, film, music, interviews, within reach of a click, and even IAs for searching information and investigate deeply.

We can study careers or even become a professional musician, practically from your room. But, this requieres an execellent discipline and organization that not everyone have.

In my case, leaving my mobile phone on a another room have helped me a lot, because you can't fall into the temptation. And in addition, I hardly recomend to set daily study rutines, obviously, with breaks. And to finish take paper notes for retaining better the information.

I know that it isn' so many tips but sincerely, there isn't a perfect instruction manual because each one have their own system and plannings for studying. But I'm pretty sure that If you just add these two things to yours, is going to improve in your studies.

Are new technologies an advantage or a challenge?

Are new technologies an advantage or a challenge?

Hi readers! We must take some points into account. Let me show you some of them:

First of all, AGE, it is not the same to be from the alpha generation or a boomer. Obviously a teenager is more open minded than an adult. We can talk about the explosive frontal neurogenesis that teenagers suffer in the next post.

Secondly, TIME, with technologies we have more time to use it for other things, because we waste less time collecting information.

Furthermore, AMOUNT, before we had limited access to information, and now we can choose from a multitudes of options such as AI, apps, internet... You can filter all that information so than it suits your need.

On other hand, WRITING, people are losing the ability to write correctly. Accent marks are lost, words are shortened or new words are invented.

Overall, if you want my opinion, new technologies are so good for being informed and adding to your knowledge but we must not forget old learning such as opening a new book or taking notes.

If you enjoyed this post, let us know your comments.

Have a nice day guys!!!

To be honest, remote learning is not always a walk in the park: Slow Wifi, distractions everywhere and endless calls. Something familiar?

It can be a nightmare if you don´t know how to use thecnology.

Sometimes, Tech seems to be the enemy but it is really the secret weapon.

If you want to be successful with remote learning it is necessary to deal with the right tools. To begin with, stay organized using time-saving apps such as, calendar or study life. Furthermore, it would be helpful sataying connected with other virtual learners sharing ideas. And last but not least, satying focus on your goals trying to avoid distactions.

so, don´t be afraid to dive into new tools, because the future of learning is digital and thecnology is the key.

Are Human Teachers In Countdown To Extinction?

As student of languages, we got a bunch of ways to study nowadays. Personaly, I’m still getting used to study by my own. I feel like I hadn’t found my path yet, and it might be due to this flood of offers. Besides the more traditional methods, such as Collegue, academies of English or one to one lesson, we are offered an amazing wide catalogue thanks to new technologies. You can improve your competences watching foreign TV, listening podcasts, using the boundless resources on internet and now, as guest star, the Artificial Intelligence has shown up to “kill the game”.

I’ve been using for the last year an app that makes you feel like you were learning face to face with a personal teacher. Within the app you can write, read and listen, but the differential factor is that you can practice real-world conversations, and, on top of that, it gives you exhaustive feedback about your pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Amazing, isn’t it? I strongly recommend it. Would have you say that it could be possible at present if you had been asked in the 90’s? Absolutely not.

My take is that I prefer face to face relations but, I must admit, AI is incredibly helpful in those fields where is very difficult work them out by your own. Could AI replace human teachers in the near future? I'd go yes, it could be. What about you? What’s your opinion? I’ll read your comments in the section below.

The Struggle to Stay Focused in Remote Learning 

# data[].attributes.body
Remote learning offers flexibility, but it's easy to lose focus without the structure of a traditional classroom, isn't it?

The absence of social interactions on remote learning, make it difficult to stay engaged. Many students feel disconnected, and that reduces their study motivation.

Tools like Zoom and Google Classroom are incredibly useful to learn on-line, but they can not replace the classroom experience. As a result, people ofen take over in isolation reducing their academic performance.

Personally, I don’t advise remote learning because I strongly believe that the structure and social interaction of in-person classes are essential for staying motivated.

What can we do to make online learning more engaging and turn it into an experience that truly motivates and connects students?

Hi guys, I took my English exam last week, as you know I'm studying English, I'm in B2.2 and it's insane!  And that’s remind me how studying a language was 30 years ago. I remember I had my notes, my book and a dictionary. That was all.

The rise of the technology has transformed the way we learn, making education more accessible than ever. Specially with the arrive of internet. And remote learning has become more common among schools and students.

But how are you dealing with technology and adapting to this new reality?

Well in my case I use a laptop and my phone every day. So it’s not a problem for me to find resources for learning English.

Today people join online classes, they can learn everywhere. Additionally digital platforms provide access to a huge number of resources including videos, audios, text with only one click. The best part is free.

Although if you want to do remote learning you need to consistently and have discipline. I always go to the library because it’s quieter, I can concentrate, and it has internet.

Some of my favourite resources include Facebook pages such as English Literature. I love their poetry post or in Tik Tok the account Ingles Nativo, their reals explain grammar very well.

I also watch streaming content in English, I believe this is one of the best ways to catch and improve your listening skills.

And my last addition: AI, oh men! Copilot it has been a total discovery for me. Now I can talk and practice my speaking with other “person” because Copilot talk to me like a real person and teaching English at the same time.

In conclusion today we don’t have excuse to learn a language. It’s not easy but not impossible.

Only you need to try and avoid distractors. Keep focus and be organized with you and your shores. Use your phone, computer or go to a library, the resources are available.

Now tell me, fellas, what are your tips for learning English. Tell me your ideas! I’ll read them and don’t forget to subscribe.

We need to share out lives with Internet and Tecnology, however…..do you know that you will improve your learning using these new tecnologies?

Teaching and learning can happen anytime and anywhere……..

Would you like learning Chinese while you are drinking a margarita in Cancún? Everthing will be possible thanks to Digital learning technologies.

Give me 5 minutes to explain pros and cos of online learning……

In One hand we have flexibilits and accesibility for online learnig, and don’t forguet that this type of learning os cheaper…….that’ s why…..we have cost saving!!!

In other hand when you are studing without teacher we have more potential distractions, this is why we have to be self discipline, which is sometimes so hard.

The way I see it is that I prefer face to face learning because of having personal guidance in a hands no experience…….moreover it is a effective learning……..

I strongly believe that we need more resourges and here, Internet and Tecnology are our best allies
