ASSIGNMENT: During these unprecedented times, our world has changed in many ways.
People have had to find different ways to perform daily activities. These activities are related to
work, education, shopping, and numerous others. Write an essay, 700 to 1200 words or 3 to 5
pages, reflecting on your experience using various technologies in your daily life.
The essay should include the following elements:
(1) Begin with an introduction that features a thesis statement that articulates concisely what
you learned from the experience. Your thesis should answer the following question,
clearly and specifically: how did the experience broaden, deepen, or otherwise enrich
your understanding of technology, yourself, and/or the wider world?
(2) Support your thesis statement in the body of the essay by relaying a first-person narrative
of your experience, highlighting key moments in the learning process. Tell the story of
what you did and how, providing specific examples to illustrate how your perspective or
understanding evolved over the course of the experience.
(3) Finally, reflect on the significance of the experience with respect to your professional
and/or personal goals. How can you apply what you learned in the future? You might also
comment on ways your contribution could have been strengthened or provide ideas about
how others may benefit from what you learned through your experience.
