Technology at "La Escuelita"

Well, use of technologies are part of the modernizing state process, and is the best tool to do everything faster and simpler. It’s excellent to execute the principles of our statute like transparency, efficiency and efficacy, and of course, helps to the public information.
Internet is the best tool to get information, and that is part of technology, in almost every home people use computers with internet, that’s the basic technology, you can reduce long distances and know new realities with just a “click”
Of course we think that us, as future governors of this country, leaders and authorities, and of course, for been in the best Chilean university, we are giving the guidelines abut technology and public systems, but the reality is too far.

We, as school of government we don’t use a lot of technology, our computers are very old and slow, specially the ones that we are now using in this room make really hard to work with this kind of subjects. It’s better to bring our own laptops, but even wi-fi works awful, It’s hard to get a good connection.

The subjects that I have studied this semester don’t need much technology, just a few programs (Like Word and Power point) and internet to do some papers, and teachers use slide projector… that’s all the technology that you will find in this place.
People who’s are preparing to studying in another country have video conference with people from the foreign university that their expect to go, but there’s a few of them, and is not a common activities.
We use plataform, from www.plataforma.uchile.cl to do some exercise in English, u-cursos to send information to our classmates and teachers, and they usually upload our marks or studding material but of course, not everyone use it. We also use alumnos.uchile.cl as platform to get information about our final academic situation, our debit situation.

It’s hard to say anything else about the use of technology in our studies, I feel a little bit pathetic because we have not the basic, the minimal to make the most with the recourses that technology and modernity gave us to work better, faster and to make us integral professionals.
I think that is important to add to our resumes some courses about the incorporation of technologies and the use and the tools that it gave us, our career is characterizing by the multidisciplinary approach, but in fact (in that area) I can’t see it.
