Synithesis

Ok I probably spelled that wrong.
I am going to use the article Who Needs Computers and Video Games and the Future of Learning. If there were ever two articles debateing different views, they are it. I plan to talk about the way they both argue about computers and videogames in school and how they help to teach students. WNC argues that they do not help students and do more harm than good. VGATFOL says that students are helped in a tremendous way and are being prepared for the future.

Video Games Summaries

I thought everyone did a good job with their summaries. I believe that everyone explained what thier section was about and what the author was getting at.

Computers and Technology

In this article, written by Richard Ohmann, the cause and effect of computers and technology in schools and classrooms are made clear. The writer tells about how even though computers have brought up scores in the lowest of schools and have helped chi8lderen immensly, they are great distractions. Teachers are driven crazy by slow modums and crash downs. And the childeren always need to be watched, lest they stray onto the internet path of games. Even with this great distractions and more, computers have helped the schools a great deal.
