4.1 Could I have completed my study in Japanese without technology? Yes of course people have been doing it forever without the information and technology we have today. But, these aids have been a huge help. I have a Japanese dictionary on my phone, I can get a plugin on my web browser to help me read difficult kanji just by hovering over them, and I also have the combined knowledge of the entire internet to draw upon. In doing my research for various projects and my capstone it was very helpful to have so many different aids.
4.2 /4.3 Creating power points for every class I have been in, doing research and writing papers on the computer, making this website, keeping a blog in Japan for my family to read, all of these things require the use and understanding of current technology. Nowadays it is impossible to get away from technology in one form or another, this is why it is good to have this MLO as part of the Japanese department. Technology has helped me to achieve so much related to Japanese. I can easily digest materiel and make it into something new and unique in just a few minutes on my computer. Doing research for my capstone and other research projects is made simple by the library storing their collection of journals and other information online. It is important to stay on top of current technologies so you can expedite your learning process and not spend as much time struggling when there is a simple solution to your problem using technology.
