Education Week: Classroom-Tested Tech Tools Used to Boost Literacy - 0 views

  •  
    Authority and Credibility - 20 Currency and Continuity - 20 Content and Bias - 15 Citations and Links - 10 Navigation and Copyright - 15 Total - 80 The author of this article is Katie Ash, who is a writer for Education Week and Digital Directions. Her beats include charter schools, school choice, and educational technology. The article originates from the Education Week magazine; Vol. 04, Issue 02. The article was published online on February 4, 2011, and in print on February 9, 2011. The article has not been revised since its original publication date, and it has a solid standing and history for accessibility because all issues are available in digital form online. The focus of the article is to inform readers of how a fourth grade teacher uses technology to enhance the teaching, and learning experience. Specific pieces of technology such as iPods, digital voice recorders, Power Point presentations, and DVD's are throughly listed. The article stays away from a bias point of view, however Gail Lovely, a former K-8 teacher is quoted "My bias is that a caring adult will always read a book aloud better than a computer can," she says. "We have to be thoughtful about where the technologies fit best." The story does not try to convince readers of anything. There are no sources or citations listed, and the links in the writing take you to the tools that are being utilized by teachers, and they are still active. There is no evidence that the article has been copyrighted, and it is accessible through alternative sources such as printed media. Overall I find this writing to be highly credible, and great for academic research.

      Source number two for Team A. The article is about the benefits of technology for people with learning disabilities (LD) and is accurate and thorough. There are no apparent biases, and the article is non-persuasive. The article cites many credible sources. These enhance the credibility of the article. There are links that help the user navigate around the website and other relevant websites. They all appear to work. The article has a navigation bar at the top, and, again, the information can be found in the other sources in the works cited page. A well rounded, thorough and accurate article. The only problem is the lack of authors. 85/100

      No specific author here. Not unheard of, but still.

Technology | Define Technology at Dictionary.com - 2 views

  •  
    This is the third article in the Team A Prezi. The author is unknown, but this is from Dictionary.com. It was written in 2014, and it has not been revised. The website has won many awards for its apps. The focus of the article is the definition of technology. The article is accurate and thorough, and there are few ways one can make a dictionary definition biased or persuasive. The publisher sites many print dictionaries, which gives the website more authority. On top of the various related words, phrases and questions links, there are links for every word used in the dictionary definition. This is an extremely useful feature and adds accessibility to the article. Most, if not all, of the links are still active. Seeing how this article is just a dictionary definition, the only navigation features needed is that to other pages. The article is copyrighted 2014 Dictionary.com Again, the only issue is the lack of authors, but it is hard to see how that would be applicable to a dictionary definition. After all, how many print dictionaries have authors listed? 90/100

    I don't like how they have used dictionary.com twice. I will have to look into their prezi to see how they used it. What do you guys think? Does this add to or take away from their presentation.
  •  
    I think that perhaps they just wanted two definitions? I do not know, but I think perhaps these should be counted as one? They have the same specifications.
  •  
    I don't think online dictionaries should be used at all during academic research, let alone twice. It definitely takes away from their presentation.
  •  
    I think this could be used as their least creditable article.
  •  
    After talking to some of the team mates, I decided that this is how we are going to handle this "article". We don't treat it as an article. We can deduct some points in the overall presentation score for using it. They could have used it just for a jumping off point, but shouldn't have quoted whole definition. Do you agree?

What are the negative effects of the Internet and technology by Bobby Coles | Inside Te... - 3 views

  • Students are rarely contributing any thought whatsoever to their assignments.

  • With spell check and grammar check available in word documents, students are allowing the Internet to write for them. This, coupled with the short form acceptability of texting and tweeting, has minimized the ability of students to think on their own and to write proper sentences and essays.

    coles - negative effect of the internet and technology (58/100) (2 stars) A&C - 12 C&C - 15 C&B - 18 C&L - 0 N&C - 13 Again, I did not find this article credible. The author was stated clearly and it had a link on it that you you to a bio page, but it was mostly blank. He is a freelance write that has only been writing a few years.There was a publish date and a revision date. The company has not been around long. The article only appears online. It is biased, but supports the statement the team is making. However the author does not give any examples, sources or citations. The article was easy to read but did not give an copyright information.

    This is the least credible article for The Refutables Points be added to Prezi - The bio page for the author was blank. - There are no sources or links provided. - The site is a younger site. - Only a small portion of the entire article covered the negative effects of technology.
