Technology In The Classroom Analysis

Technology in the classroom has definitely reshaped the way we taught for many years in college. The way teaching of education has evolved in many different forms weather it’s in the classroom or online this is a revolution either way although, some may agree with being physically in a sit or doing their classes online. Many will make excuses for the reason why assignments are not turned in on time. As explained by Carolyn foster seagal “In the Dog Ate My Disk, and other Tales of Woe” by Ellen Linder in “I’m Your Teacher Not Your Internet Service Provider”.
In Seagal paper she used humor to explain how her students have many reasons to way their papers aren’t turned in, and some of the categories that she chose to discussed are both humors
The other way segal further explains is by using the best friend a student say that they had to “Stay up because there best friend boyfriend broke up with her” or “she had to take her best friend to the hospital” (Segal, 461) this are the two major categories talked about has to the fact of way Segal doesn’t have a great deal of papers turned in on time. Segal has stated that she knows the majority of the students excuses are made up either because the student didn’t do it, and or they may have a legit reason although she can’t check behind them. Segal later stated some of her students wonder way they don’t receive the grade to pass the class because they truly didn’t put in the work or time. “Even some of the students said the printer didn’t work or it printed ink all over the paper” (Segal, 462).
In Laird essay she explains the effects of online teaching in the excuses she gets to reason why her assignment aren’t turned in on time. Laird states that doesn’t have the heart to continue to teach online. She further details the way online teaching can be difficult for her and the students. She does this by breaking the reason in categories in which she uses a form of dark humor when
“Laird also points out the student believe the actual syllabus is like a restaurant they try to put in chose which assignments they won’t to complete at the due” (Laird, 461) Laird says that although hearing many different reason for assignments not being turned in she does enjoy teaching the course but just wants to remain in a physical classroom, although the student act has if they don’t to or have to turn it in it makes a major difference in getting help for the subject as a whole. Laird and Segal were both English instructors that were veterans of the subject and they were both publish in their local paper called the chronical in 2000 and in 2003 which most teacher use as their source of communication. They both also used humor as a position to get there points across in the essays Laird showed us how technology as changed the entire way of teaching weather using and online program to use everyday technology
