TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION!



The relation between technology and education I think is a very good idea, introduce the technology in the classroom, it improved the teaching form, to news things and it changes to news objectives.

With some internet tools, and not in internet, we can teach and learn more things about the technologies.
Now we are in the information time, internet is a very very good tool, made with pages and pages, of people, chats, blogs, forums, etc...

But for good use, you have to learn some of the objectives of computers and internet, for that, we have computer classes, they are very important for the good use.
And you can learn more educative things, with tools like blog.
This school project, i like it, I think its very go to learn english, and more things to do on a personal website, put gadgets, links, etc..

Now, I think, we can't live without the news technologies, so, if we introduce that in school, what is better than technology to learn? I think, nothing!

Helloo.

I haven't got a favourite writer, because, I didn't read so books about one.
I have read so many books. The bests I think and for me, I have read are: A journey to the center of the earth of Jules Verne, The palace of the midnight of Carlos Ruíz Zafon, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket of Edgar Allan Poe, The last book I have read is when Hitler robbed the pink rabbit of Judith Kerr, It's a very very bad book, it is a autobiography of the writer, interesting but very boring. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, of Jhon Boyne, I like it very much, so now, I am going to do this entry about Jhon Boyne.
John Boyne was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1971. He studied English literature at Trinity college and creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.
He have wrote five novels: The thief of time, The congress of rough riders, Crippen, Next of kin and The boy in the striped pyjamas and another one about 70 short stories and many book reviews, articles and non-fiction pieces.
He have won 2 Irish Book Awards, the Bisto Book of the Year Award, and a shortlisted of many other prizes.
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and been made into a Miramax feature film.
