Ap Reflection

638 Words3 Pages

I actually had an epiphany while reading and processing the required readings these past weeks. In analyzing and interpreting the consciousness of members of the APP Generation, I have discovered a deeper understanding of my own consciousness towards APPs, and how it might affect my work with pre-service teachers. Gardner & Davis, 2013 have presented in early chapters a strong connection between the younger generations online and offline selves. Defined more appropriately as APP users who want to cultivate an identity which connects to an online community, and in essence an offline community since the two are connected. In contrast, I have failed to embrace the idea of celebrating my life or what I eat by posting for everyone to see. It seems …show more content…

Of course, this was also said about the T.V. It did not replace teachers, but there might be an argument about it replacing a parent, but that is another topic. Actually, I see technology changing how and what we need to teach. Maybe the teacher of today can provide students a way to use technology, not just as transactional, but to transform their identity into a world diverse with potential intimate relationships. We need to teach our youth how to embrace APPs as a catalyst to communication and not just as a buffer. We have seen over the past years, generations lose focus on experiencing diversity, so let us show teachers how to integrate technology as a way of representing student identities, and cultures, and how to develop relationships with those we disagree with. If left alone, young students will continually use APPs as a discriminatory act (i.e cliques) to weed out those who do not measure up. Let us inspire older generations to re-define how we see technology and empower the younger teachers to integrate APPs as a way to develop relationships based on respect, instead of “likes”, “snaps”, or 140 character tweets. Collectively, all generations will need to step back and evaluate the opportunity and responsibility we have for the use of technological aspects of teaching and

The Impact Of In-Forming On Danville

149 Words | 1 Pages

“In-Forming”, an app described as an individual 's ability to provide themselves with their own personal supply chain of information, knowledge, and entertainment, has impacted Danville by decreasing the amount of effort students have to put into their work and assignments, and by giving every person in Danville access to others in and out of the small town. Students of the Danville Area School District used to have to lug around large textbooks for every class, go to the library to find information for assignments, and write with actual writing utensils, but now, because of the world wide web, old standards required for learning have “left the building.” With a simple search for a textbook title on “Google,” students are able to access large

Summary Of Is Google Making USupid By Nicholas Carr

1127 Words | 5 Pages

As the phenomenon of the Internet becomes more accessible to most groups of people, it has been seen as both appreciation and criticism. In "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" by Nicholas Carr argues that the way we think and the style of reading has changed because the Internet is easy to use. In the article “Small Change,” Malcolm Gladwell discusses the pros and cons of social media on activism in modern times as compared through activism in the 1960’s. In Douglas Rushkoff’s documentary “Generation Like,” we gain a deeper understanding of how companies are increasingly working to target and exploit a teen’s quest for identity by empowering them thorough social media. In this paper I will explain how the Internet and social media have influenced

Rapt Rhetorical Analysis

1464 Words | 6 Pages

Anderson also interviews the author, Winifred Gallagher, the author of Rapt, a book about the power of attention, who wrote the book while fighting a severe form of breast cancer. She mentions that her diagnosis can be viewed as an internal struggle of focus, due to the gravity of her situation. Anderson mentions that she realized attention was ‘ “not just a latent ability, it was something you could marshal and use as a tool” ’ (3). Anderson consults Gallagher on distraction and suggests that attentional self-control, is the focal point of whether one will invest their time productively or become distracted. I concur with this argument, because a majority of instances where I was unable to finish my assignments or work was when I allowed or continued to be distracted by technology.

Cathy Davidson's 'Project Classroom Makeover'

1664 Words | 7 Pages

Change is always occurring in the world because nothing truly ever stays the same. Change is inevitable and occurs naturally. Eventually, old traditions will be broken and change into new traditions that will eventually be broken again. Education was bound to intertwine with technology, as almost everything in the world is slowly become technological. Duke University, back in the very beginning of the twenty-first century, used the new iPod to aid in their academics in a process called the iPod Experiment, which was “a start at finding a new learning paradigm of formal education for the digital era” (Davidson 55).

Henig's 'What Is It About 20-Somethings'

519 Words | 3 Pages

Young adults seem to be achieving adulthood at a later time in life. Whether it’s college students going back to their home or living on their parents budget late into their lives, many adolescents seem to be achieving adulthood less and less in their twenties than generations before. In Henig’s article titled, “What Is It About 20-Somethings”, she states that “getting to what we would generally call adulthood is happening later than ever” (200). Trying to explain this new advancement, Henig sources Professor Jeffrey Arnett, who has introduced the rise of a new life stage, identified by exploring one 's identity, self-focus, and endless possibilities for the prospect called “emerging adulthood”. A bulk of the blame for the development of Arnett’s new stage of life that Henig explores can be sourced on the recent popularity of social media that is discussed in Maria Konnikova’s article “The Limits of Friendship”.

Ap Lang Reflection

526 Words | 3 Pages

As a former AP Lang student, I feel that this class has been very beneficial for me in that it has allowed me to apply the techniques and strategies I learned last year toward more relevant subjects. Having the freedom of choosing topics to write about for our various essays made this class more enjoyable than the other English classes that I have taken. AP Lang focused heavily on the techniques of writing solid essays, but instead of writing about useful topics, we analyzed the short stories provided on the exams. Writing a personal narrative essay was very helpful in my college application process and allowed me to employ the same kind of strategies that I learned in class into my college essays.

Synthesis Essay On Technology In Schools

Before schools begin providing technology, they should consider if it is really worth it. According to Source E, past-president Clinton said that the internet “ could make it possible for every child with access to a computer to stretch a hand across a keyboard to reach every book ever written, every painting ever painted, every symphony ever composed,” (Source E). Teachers most likely would not talk about “every symphony ever composed.”
