How Technology is Actually Your Friend
Technology is constantly changing and it can be difficult to keep up. Unlock all the advantages that technology has to offer and put it to work for you! Here’s how technology is actually your friend:
It gives you unlimited access to information. The Internet opens up a whole world of information that can help you succeed in your classes. From study materials to research tools, you can access loads of information anywhere, anytime. You can even enjoy online learning in the comfort of your own home. Many programs, especially in healthcare and the trades, have innovative curriculum that combines hands-on classroom and online learning opportunities.
Technology is in the cloud. Cloud computing is when files are stored and shared over a network. When you save your documents and photos in the cloud, you’ll have access to them no matter where you are or what device you use.
It’s mobile. There are mobile applications, designed just for you! There are all sorts of free apps you can download to help you manage your time, make to-do lists, and take class notes. Do you find it challenging to study without checking your email? There are apps that help you focus and eliminate distractions. Do you want to organize your grocery list? Mobile apps can help you manage all aspects of your busy life. Check out the App Store or Google Play to download apps on your phone or tablet.
Technology helps you be social. Social media gives you a unique opportunity for positive social interaction. Social media is an online forum where you can connect with other students, build relationships, and have open discussions. Do you want to coordinate a study session with classmates? You can easily find each other and make plans through Facebook. Do you need a little motivation? Are you interested in what your fellow students are learning? Instagram is the place to be! Whether you go to the campus every day, are in a blended learning program, or take classes from the comfort of your own home, you can still feel a part of your college community.
