[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 223119, member: 42112"] Hello! That's a great question - it's not dumb at all! Technology can mean a lot of things, and in this context, I would say it is any tool, app or system that aims to make a task easier or more efficient. For example: [B]1. [/B]Using legal research databases (such as Westlaw and LexisNexis) to find cases faster or more effectively [B]2. [/B]Creating a case summary or reading summary template in Word or Excel to standardise how you take notes and save time later. [B]3.[/B] Using a reference-management software (such as Zotero) to organise sources for university essays. [B]4. [/B]Setting up shared folders or Google Docs to collaborate within group projects When approaching the question, I would approach it as: [B]1. [/B]What was the problem or task? [B]2.[/B] What technology did you use? [B]3. [/B]What was the result or impact? [B]4. [/B]What did you learn from it? So don't panic - it doesn't have to be something really technical! It's just about showing you can use technology thoughtfully and effectively :) [/QUOTE]
