Helpful to my Research....

Artifact #1....

   One article that I found very intriguing and helped guide the start of my research was the article titled Back to School: What's in Your Student's Backpack? Even from the title, I knew this article was exactly what I needed to begin my research process.  It started off giving a basic synopsis of how technology is altering education and the way students' develop literary skills in this generation.  Laptops and iPads now take the place of hardcover textbooks and novels. I learned many intesting facts such as the 450,000 iPads were sold in April of 2010.  These iPads are now a students source of information instead of a textbook.  Below is a link to this article as I thought all of my blog readers would enjoy this.  It will give you a good feel of the direction my research will be headed in. Hopefully you enjoy this article as much as I did!
