Think about this
Since February 14, 2018, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have used technology to show the world how they feel about the shooting at their school, the deaths of their friends, and how future tragedies must be averted. Their voices are being conveyed through all types of social media. Their ages are irrelevant. Children ages 14-18 organized a march on Washington, D.C. that is replicating in cities across the nation. Children organized a bus tour across major cities in the US last summer to register voters and speak out concerning gun violence. Children are shaming politicians and law enforcement, gun enthusiasts and pretty much all adults who failed to protect them in their neighborhood public school. Children are angry, and they have a voice through technology. They are using computers to educate us , the adults, concerning the changes that need to occur in our country.

describing how you will avoid the pitfalls and capitalize on the benefits when creating and consuming educational technology in the future.
In addition, explicitly refer to at least two experts in your essay. When we quote an expert or paraphrase them closely, we must tell our reader where we got the information and give the expert credit by putting the author's name right there in the text (in-text citation) so the reader can go to the References section at the end of our essay and find the full description of our source. Our readers should have enough information to retrace our steps but not so much detail (or definitely not a whole big messy url, heaven forbid) that it interrupts their train of thought. Use this essay to practice your in-text citations and your APA References. You will need these techniques for the Classroom Technology Resource Review Project at the end of the course.
Include in-text citations to at least two resources and a References section at the end of your essay.
