Today at the Hilton Hotel the second day of the Sixth Annual Symposium is being held. This Symposium is about Learning and Technology meaning: the way that technology is helping with learning these days.

Technology- say for instance a computer, you can search for anything needed but with the help of the internet which is another piece of ingenious technology.

Students can use the information given on the internet and then type it. There is a bonus you can check all of your work with the inbuilt spelling and punctuation checking and also a dictionary and thesaurus if needed.

With internet we can connect to the World Wide Web for answers of all our questions. There is also email and mobile phone which allows students to keep in touch with their teachers and classmates when they are away.

For younger children there are games that are fun and entertaining, yet they are at the same time educational.

At this symposium there are a lot of booths all of different things from a Lindt Chocolate booth to a Microsoft booth. Booths from universities, colleges and schools for children there are also people from hospitals, all advertising and handing out brochures to help promote and get more people to apply for their business, company, college, university or school. At this symposium I have had a lot of fun, met new people, made new friends and learnt more about the technology in and of Saudi Arabia.
