What they don't realize is that they can't make the best use of those tools if they have ineffective communication skills. Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:37:09 -0400 This is a good point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914550 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914550 The technology and tools should consistently be available to students. This is a huge issue for many of my students. They don't have internet, so they can't work on assignments outside of the classroom. Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:35:30 -0400 Literacy has declined over time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914549 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914549 The learning process is a lifelong process. However, I believe that technology has made it hard for students to learn anything. They rely on the technology for everything and on their own abilities for few things. They don't even take notes anymore. They take pictures of the board! Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:33:49 -0400 Overall, I would say that literacy declines as technology advances. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914545 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914545 Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:29:15 -0400 I'm beginning to see that it is possible for the actual writing process to get lost in the technology. The technology is just a tool to make it easier to do the writing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914544 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203637?scroll_to=1914544 Thu, 10 Aug 2023 04:34:01 -0400 Students need an instructor to introduce them to the different elements of writing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914542 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914542 Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:25:43 -0400 Excellent point! The tools that we use to write are easier to use, but the writing process itself has not gotten easier. I think that this is why the role of the teacher has not changed, despite all of the advances in technology. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914540 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914540 Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:22:22 -0400 I like how digital media allows multiple people to collaborate with each other. It's always a good thing when multiple people's ideas can come together, especially for a creative piece. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914538 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914538 Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:20:27 -0400 It is true that technology allows one person to play the role of writer, editor, publisher, etc. I wonder if this a good thing? I personally feel like several sets of eyes on a piece makes a more complete piece. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914508 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914508 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 19:22:56 -0400 It is true that technology gives an extension to our human experience and ability to share stories. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914506 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914506 Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:14:20 -0400 The opening statement is powerful. Humans are natural storytellers. We have an inherent need to tell and be told stories.We often learn how to do things from stories. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914504 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203641?scroll_to=1914504 Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:11:25 -0400
