The purpose of this assignment is to make us capable to argue our claims with evidences. Moreover, it also learnt to be aware of the other side of the argument by writing the counter argument.

In Nate Stulman’s essay “The Great Campus Goof-Off Machine”, Stulman creates the primary argument that the overall use of computers by students may be detrimental to their higher education. Readers are made weary by his accusations and are therefore put off by his argument from the beginning of his essay. With a string of negative discourse against the use of computers being the primary tool for a student’s learning, Stulman produces an unconvincing justification of his argument. Through the process of Stulman developing his argument, he aims the blame on both students and colleges, but his argument is not clearly directed. Overall Stulman’s essay delivery is unsuccessful due to insufficient evidence, alienation of the reader, and the production

I want to thank Fkkize for accepting this debate; this should be both educational and enjoyable! A note to those reading, this is an exercise of study for me. Much of my case and arguments will not be of my own making. I apologize for the large amount of this that will undoubtedly be quotes.

Computers and technological devices have been heavily used in millions of elementary classrooms throughout the world. While many people believe this is a beneficial thing some think it is taking over the traditional ways of learning and damaging their social interaction. All the colors and sounds on the screen attract children and make them think that what they are learning is fun and enjoyable. Using computers in the classroom is very beneficial, but it should not be replacing traditional ways of education. As Elizabeth Bohnhorst, author of Floppy Disk Fallacies, stated “…computers are being used more and more frequently as a substitute for books, blackboards, and in some cases, the teachers themselves (251-252)”. Students will soon not have the need to bring pencils, paper, and even a backpack to class because everybody will be using computers as a means of learning. Moreover, computers should be used only as a tool to assist learners and make certain tasks accomplishable more efficiently while also keeping traditional ways of learning.

It appears traditional teaching methods in many schools across the nation are undergoing significant changes, mostly due to the technological world we live in, and if this does not concern you, it should. It is not only that printing has replaced cursive writing; spell check has replaced the dictionary, or researching any topic has become a relatively easy task with Internet availability, the effects of these changes go much deeper. While there is no harm in saving time and using different or more profound methods that surely have made our lives easier, the simple fact is these things are mechanical advances made from computer technology, but they will never replace a person’s brain, analytical thinking skills and thought processes. Computers

This paper will not align itself behind a certain view in an attempt to twist the reader’s arm into believing one side is better than the other. It will provide no opinion whatsoever as to which side you should belong to; it will leave the qualities and failings of the argument itself alone.

In this paper, I will carefully reconstruct Rowe’s argument by: identifying the premises and conclusion, testing the validity and soundness according to Rowe’s argumentation, determining what the best objection is, and finally discerning whether the opposition is truly the best counterargument.

The students have their education on the line. The parents have the future of their

Are computers going to replace the human thought? How many times do you see yourself going to www.google.com or some other search engine to find even the simplest information? In the educational system more and more courses use and require some form of computer activity. One of the main concerns is that education used to be about research, problem solving, critical thinking, and human analysis. Now with the implication of computers, education is not about the research, it focus is how fast can you find the answer. The lazy point and click approach may have the answers, but has no real meaning to it. Computers are taking away not only basic skills, but the need to develop them at all.

In this written report, I will be including both sides of the argument which enable me to form my opinion as well as conclusion.

Education is one of the most important professions in the working world. Technology has done many things for us in today’s society especially for education and schools. Technology in the school system has impacted the students and teachers in many positive ways, including virtual field trips, testing tips, teacher resources, class web sites, and lesson plans. With computer use in our schools, we have access to many different sources and various types of learning.
