Technology in the Classroom

Everyday, we use some type of technology to learn in school. Starting from the beginning of the day, I check my campus email and my classes. In class, the teacher uses their computer to pull up word documents or power points to help get their lesson across to the students more efficiently. Especially in accounting and economics, we use my accounting lab and aplia so there is always homework to do with that specific technology. The campus email also helps make communicating with our classmates and professors much easier. If we have a small question, we can get a quick response with the emails. Overall, there is so much technology we use at school that much of it is over looked.

Finance and Technology Intertwined

Favorite Website

One of my most frequently visited websites is definitely amazon.com. It is so useful for students because we can sign up for a free year of Amazon Prime which includes free 2 day shipping. It helps greatly when buying books for this semester. I got them quickly and didn't have to pay for shipping which can add up. It also has a subscribe and save feature which sends you monthly shipments of your favorite items for a discounted price. Anything from cereal to q-tips can be sent directly to your house in 1, 2, 3, and 6 month intervals. You don't have to remember to get them at the store or suddenly run out of them at home. It is a great site that has everything you ever need or could ever want.
