About Education and Technology from South America

Isra from Argentina

We always use computers and other technology in our class. Nobody buys textbooks because every student has got a computer or a laptop.

We sometimes watch short videos during our lesson and talk about it. I really like that because I’m interested in film and TV. After school, I spend my free time watching at least one movie a day. My favourite type of film is science-fiction. I love watching game shows, too. ‘Jackpot’ is one of them.  I don’t think I’m movie-mad. I mean, I don’t watch movies all the time.

We mostly use books in class. If we need to use the Internet, we sometimes go to the computer room. Our social studies teacher is brilliant on the internet and she often downloads interesting videos for our lessons. I don’t really like spending my time on computers or things like that. I hardly ever watch TV, too. However, our teacher wants us to watch the news or documentaries. Well, I like to learn new things but not on TV. I think books and newspaper articles are more interesting. To tell the truth, I prefer to finish my homework quickly and then play football with my friends.
