TASK-5: Write about your experience with EDUCA FPUNA platform

Use the PASSIVE voice when needed.

Write at least 50 words.

My experience in the Educa Fpuna platform has been quite pleasant, it has facilitated me in
many things apart from the tasks or synchronic classes with the teachers that I have this
semester.

What I don't like about the platform is that sometimes the system crashes, when I need to
use the most it doesn't work and that's why it has not filled me at all.
