Essay 2-03a: Learning with computers

Learning with computer is difficult, but it is important to me. I used a computer for the first time when I was a junior high school student. And then I continued to use a computer since I entered to KGU. Before I entered the university, I don't know about computer very well. I can't use some convenience functions. Now they are convenient and important for me, but they are difficult for me. I have learned with them since I entered to the university. In a university, I have used a computer in various scenes until now.

First, I will talk about Academic work. I have many homework almost every day, and most of all homework needs using a computer. So I have used a computer almost every day. In a university, using a computer is fundamentals. In most of all classes, I must use a computer when I studied something. In a writing class, we used a computer every week. I can't understand about many functions for the first time, but a teacher and assistants taught me about them carefully. So I can understand more than before.

I have many homework of some English classes every day. For example, English Central, Power Words, Typing speed homework, and Blog. I think the Blog is useful function for me, and it is the most convenient function for me. In a writing class, I used my blog many times. I have not use this function before, so I used the function for the first time. This is very convenient for me, now I use my blog almost every day. I always write a blog when I have a free time. It is interesting for me. It can share a blog post to my smartphone, so I can use my blog by my smartphone. It is useful very much, and I can do a homework at university or my home.

Also I have other Academic homework, for example, report. It is important for university student. Of course, I must make some reports. It needs a lot of information. Finding a lot of information is so difficult without a computer. So finding a information is important for students. I can't find an information very well before. I don't know how to find an information. Now I can find an information easily. However it is difficult for me until now, I want to learn about them more and more.

Second, a computer has many convenient functions, for example, Excel, Powerpoint, Word. They are office tools. I have not use them when I entered a university. However office tools are fundamentals for university students. When I make a report, I use a Word or Excel. And I use a Powerpoint when I make a presentation of class. When I was a freshman, I learned about computer. In the class, I can understand about computer little by little. Now I can use almost functions, so I can make a homework smoothly.

Third, a computer has many advantages. You can find some advantages easily, I can find good point of computer easily too. For example, easy to find an information. You use search function when you find an information about something, then you can get a lot of information easily. You use such information when you make a report, it is useful for students. And now some files can share by some mediums. I often use the sharing function when I do a homework, it is convenient for me.

Forth, a computer has some disadvantages. There are many function in a computer, but using a computer has some risks. There's many affair over computer and smartphone. We use a computer safety, but there's horrible people in a world. And we must not abuse a computer. And computer caused bad influence for our body. We must not use a computer for long time. When we use a computer, we must use it more carefully.

Finally, learning with computer is very important for me. There are many advantages in using a computer, so I can do something easily. However there are many disadvantages in using a computer, it is horrible things. We must study about computer more and more, and we must get detailed knowledge. It will protect us from many horrible things. Using a computer is very useful and convenient for us, but we must use a computer more carefully.
