12 Oct. 2011. This website article covers the computer technology available in classrooms today and how it effects the overall learning of the students. It focuses on the average classroom and the average number of computers available in those classrooms and how this provision of technology influences students. It also hints that there may be a lack of attention to student learning styles and a rush to provide classroom computers instead. This article might not be as valid as the other sources I have found.
Taking Responsibility For Education Students rely on a number of things in their pursuit of a higher education; teachers, accredited institutions, and textbooks containing correct information. James Loewen, who wrote Lies My Teacher Told Me, brings up concerns for students stating US History lower-learning textbooks are not equipped with factual information. In Loewen’s text he brings to light some very significant US events he believes are not factual. When we think of studying history we think about learning specific dates, events, or wars that impacted our country. Not many people stop to question if the information they are reading or being taught is factual.
He could choose to look at educational websites, such as news sites and online journals, or he could go to “junk” websites that serve no educational purpose. Unfortunately in today’s culture, the vast majority of college students will not use the computer as an effective research tool.

The research paper and its effectiveness at measuring a student's performance has become a debate within the educational community. Critics of the form say that in our age of technology the internet has made sources too readily available and therefore the essay type is obsolete. Yet, there are professors that would disagree and state they are encouraging students to think unconventionally. With good evidence on both sides of the argument it is hard to decide if this is an effective means of evaluation. There are more effective ways of assessing knowledge such as other types of essays and oral presentations.
Annotation may seem like it has many implications, but those uses don’t outweigh the lessons and enjoyment of reading. To begin, annotating a book reduces the positive experience obtained from the book. In particular, the book 1984 by George Orwell is a prime example of this. As a student in the sophomore class, a student who has chosen to remain anonymous has had a firsthand account of this. He says “1984 has been boring, and annotating it doesn’t help.
The classroom research Holmes mentions in the article is not comprehensive. “Talking in class is often perceived as ‘showing off,’ especially if it is girl-talk. Until recently, girls have preferred to keep a low profile rather than attract negative attention” (303). As a matter of fact, boys do not always dominate the class while girls may therefore be proactive during some issues they interested in. For instance, in math class, girls do not seem to talk less than boys.
