Assignment 1: Discussion—Education and Technology

In this module’s readings, you learned about the importance of  clarity in writing. A strong, clear thesis and a logically structured  argument enhance the credibility of your work.

Use appropriate language to respond to the following:

• “Should schools embrace computers and technology? How does an  increasing dependence on technology impact the operation of the  classroom? Does more technology help or hinder learning?” Discuss your  perspective and provide outside support for your opinion.

Write your initial response in about 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.
