In the past people would have to go to a library and research through piles and piles of books just to find enough information to write an essay for school, but today during the twenty first century a quick Google search can find all the information you need in a moment. Is Google Making us Stupid?, an article by Nicholas Carr, discuses the way people live during the modern age. The article states that the way people think, not just the way people receive information has changed. The topics discussed in this article matter to me, education, and the world. The article matters to me because of two reasons. First, it means that I can access information much easier than past generations. This statement supports the positive side of the subject. Second, since I am used to getting information quickly and easily it makes it harder for me to focus when reading long articles or stories, this is bad because I will have a harder time finishing long reading assignments in language arts or reading textbook chapters in social studies. The topics discussed in the video also relate to education in two ways. First, schools need to incorporate more technologies into the lessons to keep kids paying more attention. This makes them more willing to do homework and in-class work because it relates to them. Second, teachers need to assign fewer readings because some kids find it hard to focus on reading long books or articles making them less likely to do the work or to grasp the concepts they are supposed to understand. Finally, the ideas in this article are important to the world. First, this may be foreshadowing the extinction of written text and the expansion of the web and the information on it. Second, the computer industry will become even larger and pull in even more money to keep up with the demand for computers so that people can access all the information shared on the web. Is Google Making Us Stupid? an article by Nicholas Carr discuses the way people live during the modern age . The topics discussed in this article matter to me, education, and the world.
Chase- make sure to begin your response with the topic sentence format we are working on in class: state title, author, hyperlink to source, what matters and why. This, "Is Google Making us Stupid?, an article by Nicholas Carr, discuses the way people live during the modern age. The article states that the way people think, not just the way people receive information has changed" could be a good topic sentence rather than later on in your response. Other than that, excellent work.

ReplyDeletecut down on the notes. dont write your whole speech on notes write a little bit then fill in the rest. you looked down on your notes the whole time look up and speak more clearly.
ReplyDeleteYou need to interact more with your audience, all your doing is reading it off the page. I like how you referenced your presentation to what matters to you, the world, and education. Good question, it can make you think.
ReplyDeleteyou sounded like you where just rambling on about somthing, the overall presentaion was good though because you talked about everthing you wrote and didnt focus on one thing.
ReplyDeleteyou did a good job at standing up straight and talking clearly. The question made me think alot
ReplyDeleteGood but read mostly off of computer and not off of memory really at all. had a very good question but messed with bottom of shirt.
ReplyDeletei thought the way he brought up the topic was good. i think that you should not have stopped has much. I thought you did pretty good.
ReplyDeleteYou need to make better eye contact,and stop playing with shirt. And I liked the question.
ReplyDeleteTry to have a note card because you seemed a little confused while you spoke. You had a great question at the end too. Good job!

ReplyDeleteYou seemed kind of nervous and you played with your shirt a lot. I saw that you were looking at your computer a lot. Try standing up straighter
ReplyDeleteYou made some good points but you should have learned what you were going to talk about better so it wuold flow.

ReplyDeleteLook up more when you read your notes, other then that it was good
ReplyDeleteChase, you had a great presentation, but you need to make more eye contact.
ReplyDeleteYou had good posture, but you need to talk just a little bit louder and you shouldnt talk while looking at your notecards
ReplyDeleteI think you had good posture. But I think it should've been smoother and should've flowed better.
ReplyDeleteGood job on presenting clearly. I also like the question, it really made me think.
ReplyDeleteYou looked up and made eye contact enough but it seemed to be only in one spot. But you had a great layout for the speech and it worked well.
ReplyDeleteDon't look at ypour notes the whole time and don't play with the bottom of your shirt. Also speak more fluently.
ReplyDeleteYou seemed well prepared in your speech great job
ReplyDeleteGood content. Practice your notes so you have a better ideaof what they say.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you looked up from your notes now and the. Its tough to go first, and you didn't have much time to prepare. Based upon that it was a decent speech.
