IN HIS OWN WORDS
My recent experiences with electronic video communicaMon, in this case, online systems like Skype, have redefined my concepMons of technology and global communicaMon. This entertaining and informaMve experience, though disproporMonately stressful to one with liKle familiarity with the inherent circumstances, greatly increases my sense of solidarity with other people.
IN HIS OWN WORDS
When thrust into condiMons such as I was, one is forced to quickly adapt and learn invaluable skills including public speaking and self-‐confidence. The video conference our class parMcipated in was such an occasion. Therein I presented four minor speeches and responded promptly to the overseer’s quesMons. Other than personal experience and mental/emoMonal exercise, the conference
IN HIS WORDS
-‐was highly educaMonal from an objecMve view, with detailed informaMon researched and presented by schools and groups around the world. I am grateful for the opportuniMes and challenges it has presented to me.
