E-BOOKS AND E-READERS

Technology has advanced throughout time and will continue to advance as time goes on. It's a fact that has been accepted in education. Which is why we are now starting to see more E-books and E-readers. regular books have started to become audio books and exams have gone from paper to electronic. The online world had become a great tool in classes bringing the e-book and e-reader. The E-book has allowed many student receive an online copy of a book than a hard copy. May people find this convenient! (I'm one of those people!) As time goes on, these tools will advance and become more and more proficient. Although there are still problems with these methods I honestly believe that they well improve with time.

ELECTRONIC NOTE TAKING

Since I spoke about e-books and e-readers, I felt like bring up the idea of electronic note taking. Electronic note taking is a convenient way of taking school notes. It gives the student the ability to find their notes anywhere at any time. Before, writing note by hand were much more tedious. With electronic note taking, note taking becomes easier to manage and makes it much easier to send to classmates. They can be easily used to compare with homework assignments which can be easier than written notes. It's a easy and convenient way of keeping your notes where they're suppose to be.

PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING

Since the creation of the internet, plagiarism has,sadly, been more evident. The convenience of looking online and finding something similar to what you need makes things much more convincing to doing. In the textbook, it shows the different strategies that can be used to enforce authenticity and 

emphasize the wrong in plagiarism. Overall, Plagiarism is wrong and isn't tolerated in a classroom setting and that should be clearly presented to students from a beginning.
