WRiTING PROCESS 1: Draft: What is the best modality to learn nowadays? Online classes are the most feasible via to learn for students that revolutionized and changed the old learning. Years ago, we couldn't even imagine that technology would help us understand because of pandemic years, we had to adapt, and virtual lessons were the most common and necessary modality. It allows us to notice that there are notorious differences between face-to-face classes with online classes. For these reasons, we should take advantage of this new and exciting modality that has grown well and is a big opportunity to stop complaining and study anywhere with a flexible timetable. To begin, while online classes started to be used to continue doing activities without keeping in touch, face-to-face classes have stopped during the pandemic. But it opens a new door because it teaches us a new modality with many advantages. It allows you to study in any place. Meanwhile, you can connect to the internet. So, you wouldn't worry about time, spending money buying the ticket to the bus or being aware of your clothes. In addition, it allows students to study comfortably and be relaxed, entering the lesson with just a click. On the other hand, many students debate this modality because they say face-to-face classes are traditional and fundamental learning. So, analyzing, they notice some crucial differences. For example, the presencial modality allows us to interact with other people and be more participative. In consequence, it's more challenging to get distracted. To conclude, we can enjoy the diversity of modalities we have nowadays. Although each has its advantages and disadvantages, we should optimize the maximum this opportunity and learn overall. Anyways, students said they needed clarification about deciding on the best modality, meanwhile, face-to-face lessons are practical and easier to use, and virtual classes are innovative, allowing one to discover hundreds of interesting people.

WRiTING PROCESS 1: Corrections:

At first, I haven´t listened to the indications

about the organization that the teacher talked

about to make the first draft, so I did the block

organization. When I presented my draft to the

teacher, he corrected my mistake and how I

should organize and change it. So I did the

point-by-point organization that is different for

the number of paragraphs and the information

in each one, and My final copy is well because I

have a good grade in writing 1.

WRiTING PROCESS 2: Draft and final copy:

Laptops becoming popular in our modern society has

revolutionized how we work, learn, and communicate. This

essay explores the causes and effects of the widespread usage

of laptops. While laptops offer numerous advantages and

conveniences, their ubiquitous presence also brings inevitable

consequences that must be carefully considered.

It's a fact that the convenience it brings is paramount. Laptops

are lightweight and portable, allowing users to carry their work

or studies anywhere. This benefit has increased to help in

productivity and flexibility. Moreover, it has facilitated remote

work and distance learning opportunities. Another cause of

laptop usage is easy access to information and resources, and it

permits users can instantly access vast amounts of information

and online resources with learning opportunities. Furthermore,

it contributes to the democratization of education as

educational materials become widely accessible to people from

various backgrounds.

However, the widespread usage of laptops also brings about

some effects that need careful consideration. One significant of

them is the potential dependency and overreliance on it

because of its daily use. This overreliance can lead to weaning

away from physical activity, increased sedentary behavior, and

potential health issues like eye strain that appear in this case.

Furthermore, people should be concerned about privacy and

security. Privacy breaches, hacking, and identity theft risks have

become more significant. Individuals must protect their data,

practice online habits, and stay informed about potential cyber

threats.

In conclusion, the widespread usage of laptops has brought

significant positive changes, but people should be aware of the

possible negative consequences. Striking a balance between

utilizing laptops' benefits while mitigating their drawbacks is

crucial for individuals to make the most of this powerful tool in

the digital age. By harnessing the advantages of laptops and

taking necessary precautions, we can navigate the evolving

technological landscape and harness its potential for personal

and professional growth.

REFLECTION PARAGRAPH: UNIT 2 In this unit, we talk about an interesting subject that is nomophobia. Probably many students have it. Even I have, so it was important to talk and discuss. Learning new vocabulary related to it is important, like some phrasal verbs with three words that I added to my language. Moreover, we reviewed the transitive and intransitive sentences, but I noticed that it made a little difficult to identify when I remembered that it was so easy to intermediate. For this reason, I should continue studying not only for the grade but for my learning too. And this is the last unit we checked, so it is memorable for me, and I enjoyed this experience and will continue looking. I´m thankful to the patient teacher for explaining each subject.

Extra activities: How do you envision education in the future? Do you think the traditional classroom with one teacher, 20–25 students, and a chalkboard is a thing of the past? What role do you think technology will play in education in the future? What effects will these changes have on the student? I think the teaching methodology will be radically different in the future. Technology has replaced many works, so the probability of occurring in how we learn is high. Analyzing my learning at Icpna, I consider online classes the beginning of diverse forms to study. To start, it's a fact that the first advance in learning has been virtual lessons. Because before the pandemic, school methodology was the same and didn’t look to change. For example, in high school, teachers didn’t allow me to use the Internet for homework. Still, all changed for the necessity to continue studying, and using technology was new and challenging. However, nowadays, schools are using new platforms to add to the learning and dynamic of the class. Some of them are Kahoot, a website that elaborates tests online and allows students to take them and participate. Also, there is "classroom," the app used to write this writing that permits teachers to examine it directly and add comments to correct it when it has been reported. The technology revolution is assured. One significant renovation will be creating a robot teacher programmed to give personal lessons or an app in each cell phone that will have to include a dynamic way of teaching. A hologram is possible, too. Moreover, human teachers can’t teach each student for time and other factors. In contrast, a machine program allows the personal evaluation of the student. I hope this change won't be late because it will help students. It’s a beneficial form of learning. Any student has a problem with a course and doesn’t necessarily say they are dumb. Indeed they need to have a different plan to develop their intelligence because exist for now eight kinds of intelligence, and each one is different. So if this invention happens in the future, people could learn well and have good professionals. Because all people have the capacity, we need to find a way to develop and use it.
