In "Computers and Technology, Richard Ohmann brings up a few good points about the technology craze that is sweeping the country-and the school system. He argues that while there are a few good things about computers in the classroom, they also cause a lot of problems. He points out that in certain schools, the use of computers has dramatically improved grades and involvement. However, it seems that students are relying less on books and teachers as resources and more and more on the internet. There is also a huge amount of students using plagiarism instead of doing their own work.
I agree with Richard Ohmann in the sense that students use the internet too much for research, but disagree with the points he makes about students relying too heavily on computers for day-to-day learning. Obviously the statistics from the beginning of his article show that having computers in schools is making a big impact on students grades. Students do rely a little to much on the internet for research, and plagiarism is a big problem, but overall having technology in the classroom seems to be making a positive impact.
