Description:  Above is my infographic, on how technology helps us learn, rather than getting in the way. Learning with technology does not involve just the classroom. Technology in general, helps mankind learn so much about the world around us. It keeps us engaged, allows us to easily learn information, and constantly changes the world. Without technology, we would be far behind where we are today. Reflection: 1. I picked this topic, because technology is something we use everyday. I also disagreed with the fact that technology gets in the way of learning, because what it does for us is so important. I picked this side, because technology helps me everyday in school. In fact, this blog is using technology, and it is helping me learn. I definitely believe in my statement, because it impacts my life everyday, and it changes the world we are in. 2. When researching this topic, I found it pretty clear that the benefits of technology, and how it helps us learn, greatly outweighe...

My favorite narrator has to be in Ernest Hemingway's,  The Old Man and the Sea.  The novel is told in third person, so we know nothing about the narrator. However, the narrator is able to tell the readers what is going on in the old man's mind, as well as what he has gone through. The novel follows the thoughts and experience of a fisherman in Cuba. Although the plot is very simple, I really enjoyed the narration. It has been a while since I read this book, but I remember how the narrator knew about the thoughts and background of the old fisherman. The book deals with an old fisherman's quest to catch a marlin, and details how he struggles trying to bring it in the boat. Before he caught the marlin, he was unlucky, and looked badly upon by his town because of this. He manages to harpoon the giant fish, but on his way back, it gets devoured by sharks. He is left only with the skeleton of the marlin. This is my favorite, because although the plot is very simple, the narra...

Robin Sloan introduces readers to the life of Clay Jannon, an ambitious young man living in techy San Francisco. While looking for jobs, Clay stumbles upon Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore, a relic in the modern city of San Francisco. His curiosity gets the best of him, and naturally, he takes the job as desk clerk. It isn’t long until Clay notices something is going on in the store. Mysterious people enter the store, checking out books at the most random times- sometimes at four in the morning. Clay determines to find out what is going on, but in the process, discovers something even larger. With a little help from his friends, Clay embarks on the journey of a lifetime, in an adventure you won’t forget. One thing that I really enjoyed about the novel, was the writing style. The writing style made it super easy and fun to read, offering us insight into the thoughts of the main character, Clay. Told in first person, readers could see what Clay was thinking, and the problems that he w...

About My Project: The project that I created was intended to spread the message on "Why People Read". The option that I chose was a video, compiled of different people discussing why they enjoy reading. The people in the video were everyday people, from family members to friends.

My video presents this information in a way that everyone understands what I am trying to get across from them. I chose to have family and friends in this video, because in the video were regular people, that they could relate to. My reason for creating this video was to encourage people to pi...
