I started to write about why microbiology books should be electronic books and it was going well, but then I heard something on the radio that changed my mind. On NPR which is national public radio they were talking about how most of the states up north and in the mid-west have adapted virtual classrooms or virtual learning where students are required to log in via computers, IPad or tablets when they have snow days. I thought to myself wow! This is truly a sign of the times that we live in. I chose to switch to this topic because I feel it is most relevant and having been able to experience this myself at South U with my professor made me think I have to write about this!
We live in an era where technology rules practically everything from schools to doctors office to work. Why not use this technology for good use rather than Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc...integrate this into the schools. It was so convenient for me to be able to log in from home and still participate with my class when I was not able to make it on time due to work. This is the best idea anyone could enforce into the schools. I think I am definitely touching upon Kairos which is being able to write relevant to the times. As this is being implemented currently in New York, New Jersey, and Michigan. There are more states to come. I will put forth a very good argument why every classroom should have virtual education.
You have such a talent for writing. Technology is good. My document 2 is similar to your writing. It's great to be able to log in and participate with the class. What if the virtual learning is reading assignments only and no one is available to help you if there is a problem with your assignment?
