Google Scholar article response
After carefully examining my article, "Learning in a digital age: Insights into the issues," I have determined that the author's main argument is quite simple. For a couple of decades now, computers have been an influential learning tool amongst schools, but do students really grasp the power of this technology? According to the author, she is argueing that there is a definite difference between being technologically literate and technologically fluent.This subject of argument calls for exploration. As read in chapter one of Lunsford's book, sometimes arguments can be geared towards approaching crucial problems in our society. Therefore, I feel that the author of the article is trying to unveil the notion that it shouldn't be assumed that all students growing up today know how to use a computer properly. Going along with the 'arguments to explore' excerpt from Lunsford, the author of "Learning in a digital age" is attempting to portray that a problem in the information age is prevailing. She then follows up that idea with actions that have been taken in the past by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The argument is being directed at that those who have the power to make a change in our society as well as to make others aware that techological literacy is indeed an up and coming skill that all must acquire sooner , better then later.
