Blog 4.1

The internet and mobile devices can be used as teaching tools. Our current generation can be called the iGeneration. Preteens and teens are constanly plugged in. There's nothing wrong with using technology to learn.

They are many websites that can be used to learn. For my writing class there is grammarbytes.com. It teaches you how to use verbs, commas, fused senetences and much more. There was also a freerice.com which helped improve someones vobulary and grammar. For my reading class there is backboard hich helps students with reading comprehension. There are many other classes that have the internet as teaching tools. My math class has educosoft.com. Where you can do your hw and take quizzes/tests. There's also tutorials online. For the iGeneration mostwork is online. Because if it isn't kids wont do it. Since they're already online they'll have a better chance of doing the hw. But there is a problem when the kids multitask. When a student is on facebook and on youtube while doing there homework they shouldn't except a good grade. Teens have to forget about there social lives while they're doing homework.

Students shouldn't be allowed to multitask with there work. This is a new generation called the iGeneration where everything is very different. Homework is mostly done online same for talking to your friends.

  3. Aaron, where is your summary of the article?

  4. I feel that you need to do your best and focus in this class. Because you don't seem like you even tried to do what was asked of you. This essay doesn't has a clear understanding of the article that was read. I didn't understand what you were trying to say and you didn't support it with any ideas or experiences that you may have had. You need to work on sentence structure and word choice.

  6. -The essay is a bit confusing.
    -There is no summary so if someone else was to read this essay that didnt read the article,that person would be totally confused.
    -you have too many ideas
    -you have like 3 different claims
    -too short
    -your personal experiences are good
    But! it can be clear if you seperate your personal experience and support it with evdience of the afrticle instead of just throwing all your personal experiences in one paragraph.

  7. i like how you read the article and that related the article to how its the same way to your school life the only problem i find with your essay is that your essay includes no summary to it.I feel that your essay is too short snd doesnt include nothing with the arictle and lacks in details. Try to details from the article into your essay
