The big question.

Today during class,my team the "ALL STARS" presented to the class a series of articles talking about school and the incorporation of technology, now, when you hear the word technology you might think of something like a videogame console, a desktop or laptop computer or perhaps something more common like a cellphone or a tv, is known by fact that technology changed the world for the better of all human kind making easier and more intresting the way we live.

But the big question is ,wether schools should incorporate this new age mathods into the classroom?. one of the bad things is that is also known that teenagers can't write in a formal way using the internet and this can bring a new bunch problems that teachers would be forced to face this problems , wasting lots of studyindg time during the school year.

One of the things that we talked about was "CLIVE THOMPSON ON THE NEW LITERACY"
Andrea lunsford sai: this isnt true."I think we're in the middle of a literacy revolution the likes of wich we havent't seen since greek civilization"she says.For lunsford , technology isn't killing our ability to write it's reviving it and pushing our literacy in bold new directions.

The first thing she found is that young people today write far more than any generation before them.That's because so much socializing takes place online, and it almost always involves text.

The fact that students today almost always write for an audience gives them a different sense of what contitues good writing.Of course, good teaching is always going to be crucial ,as is the mastering of formal academic texts.But it's also becoming clear that online media are pushing literacy into cool directions.

We think of writting as either good or bad.What today's ypung people know is that knowing who you're writing for and why you're writing might be the most crucial factor of all.
