During our English 250 class, I have been able to analyze the different ways that we can use technology in our current society. This digital literature class opened my eyes up to the amount of tools that we have available to us on a day to day basis. The most recent tool that we learned how to use was hypothes.is which is a tool that is used to make annotations and comments on the internet/websites and it allows you to interact with other users as well. Since learning about this tool, I have been able to use it to help myself in other classes and I noticed how much of an impact that these things will cause for both teachers and students both in and outside of the classroom. Being able to keep track of notes and being able to communicate with peers learning the same material as you can prove to be successful in most cases. However, we also have to think about the possible constraints that working digitally can cause.
In my opinion, we should be teaching students more about online tools that will help guide school work because technology is advancing so quickly, and soon almost everything will be digital. We need to learn how to take advantage of these tools to be able to thrive in this new digital age. Let me know what you think about the ways that technology could impact classroom learning in our future!
