Synthesis

Statement
Both of the articles that I read talked about how computers do not help kids in the classroom.

Outline
Pros of computers
-Able to get fast research
-Everyone will have to have some computers skill later in life, might as well start them young
-Communication through the internet

Cons of Computers
- easy distractions
- Able to take other peoples work
- People forget about the library

Both of the authors Still and Ohmann oppose the idea of computers in the classroom. They don't think that they should be used for educational purposes. Although, the two authors agree that computer technology will be present in the classroom, and must be monitored by the teacher.
