Everything is on the internet

-

The Internet has evolved, reaching a point where it is essential; it has become a powerful tool. It is both amazing and concerning how these technological creations have multiplied and become such a fundamental part of our daily lives. When it comes to our opinions on this topic, there's not much to say except that you can choose to be on its side or against it, be someone empowered by staying up to date or live trapped in the past, challenged by the advances of society.

It is impossible to disconnect 100 percent and forever from artificial intelligence without being left behind, but at the same time, it is impossible to gain infinite knowledge about everything and control it. We were used to the reliability of limited resources, and now reliability seems to lose its meaning with each passing day, as anyone with WiFi and a cellphone can unscrupulously manipulate people through misinformation.

As adults and part of "less technological" generations, we tend to be more reluctant to believe everything we see. We still have a rational and critical side that makes us take a defensive position. However, what is going to happen with the new generations and those who have already fallen into the claws of misinformation? How are they going to fight against something they refuse to believe exists?

We used to say that the ignorant were those who didn’t have access to information, but now it’s more than obvious that this was never the real problem. Today, we have the means to understand, yet we have lost common sense. We have lost the ability to analyze what we are told, blindly believing the fake news that spreads on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

The most concerning part is the position of kids and teenagers. They are so exposed to misinformation that they don’t want to face the reality behind what is fake and what is not. They have become so addicted to the pleasure of effortless and quick answers that they no longer investigate to verify whether those answers are real or not.

What is Powtoon.com?

Powtoon I did some research on this website to look for its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages to create a more complete view of its functions. Maybe the biggest challenge that I faced while working on this presentation was to find a more complete way to demonstrate Powtoon features due to the many limitations I found in the website. I created a power point presentation with some pictures as a guide to learn how to use the website properly, the way in which I interacted with the audience was through the explanation of all these aspects and I think that in future presentations I would record my screen to present everything "on live", maybe that way I could engage the audience more.

  Didactic class application Phrasal Verbs For this presentation I planned and created the structure of my presentation according to the  homework indications to start with the canva presentation. After that I focused on looking for effective options and I decided to use Microsoft forms for the listening and speaking part and then Socrative for the reading and writting section, once I had my ideas in order and finally developed my activities I started to prepare for the oral part and also created the type of rubric that I wanted to use for the evaluative part.
