OBSOLETE (A Teachers Tale Of Tomorrow Today) By Kevin Vachna

750 Words3 Pages

In the book OBSOLETE: (A teachers tale of tomorrow today) by Kevin Vachna, the success sphere symbolize how kids are taught what the leaders want them to learn. The success spheres are hurting and brainwashing the kids in cluster 1. The success spheres are evil and try to control the network's youngest generation. This leads to the kids being controlled and manipulated to change the trajectory of their lives. In OBSOLETE: (A teachers tale of tomorrow today) by Kevin Vachna, AD min says, “(The pods are making the kids sick) Of course, that's what they are designed for.”(Vachna 153) This shows that the network and teachers, who are supposed to help kids are making them sick and forcing them to learn even to the point where they can’t physically learn. In Robots for Good and Evil, Reid Golbourgh writes, "Whether they will outsmart us is a question that in the near term will …show more content…

The kids aren’t learning the truth because the network can control what they learn and so what they think. An article named We, robot: What real-life machines can and can't do, by Rachel Ehrenberg, say that computer may eventually be better than humans at jobs and that in some places they have already taken jobs to form humans. This information is important to the text because in OBSOLETE teaching has been taken over by machines. because you can teach whatever you want with machines but humans may have a moral obligation to help the kids instead of lying to them. In OBSOLETE, Teih says, “There's something to be said for the ability to see behind the curtain that's been drafted in front of everyone's eyes'' (Vachna 39). This is important because it is talking about how the success sphere literally shows what the network wants you to see. The kids are learning not the truth but the new truth that the network wants. The kids are mistreated and are made to think that lies are the

After few hours reading, “The Sanctuary of School” was written by Lynda Barry, grew up in an interracial neighborhood in Seattle, Washington State. Then, I think this article was interesting to read.

Summary Of Is Google Making USupid By Nicholas Carr

957 Words | 4 Pages

For an expert opinion on this topic, Carr quotes Maryanne Wolf, a developmental psychologist at Tufts University. While analyzing her points, Carr explains, “Wolf worries that the style of reading promoted by the Net, a style that puts ‘efficiency’ and ‘immediacy’ above all else, may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading…” (Carr 575). Carr points out that technology changes people’s minds to which they seek out finite answers to questions rather than reading between the lines and developing their own opinions. Carr also compares the human brain to a computer by the fact that both systems strive to be quick with as few errors as possible.

Summary Of Is Google Making USupid By Nicholas Carr

1057 Words | 5 Pages

With all the information we consume in a short amount of time Carr says we are acting like computers as he puts to paper saying “as we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence” (580). This one again like all the other points is very evident in my life as I see it happen in the school system itself. The school system teaches us to memorize so many things and learn as much as we possibly can in my classes today memorization is key and without it I struggle in class, so learning as much as possible seems to me to be like the role of computers and not for humans. Computers supply us with every bit of information we need and with this power comes the want to be like it, so the school system and culture in general wants us to become like computers, knowing everything that will be useful to us at any given moment and this is taking away our ability to act as humans. In a world where the internet dominates, and has manifested itself in computers and our daily lives, this may be very well be the most important point to realize because if we lose our humanity we lose our ability to be human, and walking computers would be our next

Summary Of A Texas Private School Is Using AI Technology To Teach Core Sub Subjects

473 Words | 2 Pages

Although the author uses well-executed appeals like ethos and pathos, it lacks both statistics and data and doesn’t address the opposing point of the negative effects it will produce. Stakeholders in the article include the quality of education, accessibility of technology, and the ethical impact on teacher’s jobs. Mentioned stakeholders in the article are the students who are directly affected by AI learning, the diminished role of teacher’s impact in classrooms, and the privilege of school administrators who make the decisions on AI. Unmentioned stakeholders in this issue are the parents with their stake in their child’s education, and AI developers. The weakness of the article comes from the failure to mention the ethics and impact of this decision on the workforce.

1064 Words | 5 Pages

Lately, research has shown that kids these days are not that intelligent as the use of technology increased. Their reading and math skills decreased and the amount of books they would read has also decreased as well. This has brought some worry to many adults that this upcoming generation will end up being the “dumbest.” However, there are multiple factors that can cause us to seem the “dumbest generation.” In Goldberg’s article, “If Technology Is Making Us Stupid, It’s Not Technology’s Fault,” he uses pathos and logos to prove that technology itself is not the reason why our level of intelligence is decreasing; instead, technology actually can prove to be making us smarter in different ways from the past.

Best In Class, By Margaret Talbot

874 Words | 4 Pages

To be presented as valedictorian, to have the opportunity to speak at graduation, to walk across the stage knowing you’ve worked extremely hard over the past 4 years - that is an honor. The title valedictorian began as an innocent award to reward the top student in each class; however, students have turned it into an enormous competition. These competitions have resulted in lawsuits, sour attitudes, and negativity towards one another. In “Best In Class,” Margaret Talbot clearly displays her message that the honor of valedictorian rewards those who work hard, but the award, over time, has become corrupt, thus, needing modification through her strong use of the appeals and her informative persona. Margaret Talbot uses each of the appeals to

I chose the book by Neila Connors, If you Don’t Feed the Teachers, They Eat the Students!:Guide to Success for Administrators and Teachers to review. The book is an easy read and is refreshing in its approach as a guide for administrators. The author uses cooking metaphors to offer some practical advice on how to be an effective leader. Although the tone of the book is light and funny, it does a good job addressing the serious task that all school principals face, creating a positive and encouraging environment for teachers. As the book emphasizes the teachers are the foundation of the school, unhappy staff will not produce successful students.
