I read an article the other day discussing the distractions technology can bring into the classroom and other areas of learning. The article provides facts about decreased abilities in correct spelling and grammar and also statistics on plagiarism. While studying this article I notice three elements of the writing that helps expose its real purpose. First off, the pitch of the article is the idea that technology is affecting the education process. The second component is the complaint. The complaint of the article is the concern that technology is developing quickly and over time student's education will continue to suffer. The final concept is the moment. The moment is the opinion of many adults that teenagers may possibly be addicted to technology. The article even points out that students use their phones at school even though rules prohibits it. Though facts show that spelling and grammar has worsen through the years, how can we be so sure that technology is to blame? Other factors may contribute since technology is not the only thing that has been changing.

I believe too that technology in the classroom such as cell phones is weakening kids abilities to write becuase of the lanuage that we use when we text. Also I have recently heard about kindergardners using ipads in the classroom and I think that this is hurting not helping.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about this. First off, I think that technology is good for people because it has let us get information in a timely fashion. With this, technology can get addictive and hurt students' ability to learn when they abuse technology. For example, using a cell phone in school is abusing technology because it hinders the students' ability to learn new concepts and material. Overall, I think that technology is good for us; we just have to use it in an appropriate manner. Technology allows for us to research much faster and get things accomplished a lot faster.
