Un oracion

Sythesis statement
Both Ohmann and Stoll believe that computers do not advance learning in the classroom.

Outline
Computers are good:
-They offer fast and simple communication outside of the classroom
-Keep up with the real world and jobs using technological advancements
-Research is readily available and easy to access on internet

Computers are bad:
-Do not allow for information to be presented with emotion
-Plagiarism is a bigger issue when using computers
-Big businesses are changing schools for monetary purposes

Stoll and Ohmann make similar arguments, but they do have different points. They are easily relatable and passages from both can be used almost interchangeably. Ohmann clearly focuses more on the business aspect. Stoll thinks that technology in the classroom is a hindrance. They both then find share the belief that technology is inevitable but teachers will and should put it off as long as possible.
