Week 4: Using My Research Question for Invention.

Question
Does digital media benefit the function of k-12 classrooms?

This question is open ended, which seems good. It doesn't  really offer a direct "Yes or No"response,
so this will allow me to form an argument, and hopefully persuade my audience toward my findings. I plan on researching while writing and try to come to a conclusion towards the end of my paper.

By doing this, it allows the reader to go through the journey of discovering an answer to my question. I'm hoping this is the write way to do this, as long as I'm trying to support my argument throughout the process, I should be alright.

I would hope this would encourage a person to look at the positives and negatives of using technology in the classroom.  Who would the question then be the most beneficial for? It could be directed towards either teachers or students. Students of course would love being able to use all of this great technology in the classroom--I know I would if I were still in k12. But it's the teachers that would have to look at this more closely and see if this model will match a working pedagogy in a classroom.

Different Forms

Comparison and Contrast:

• In a changing world, what are the possible outcomes of the evolving technology being used in the k-12 school system?
• This will allowing me to look at both sides of the issue and help me draw a conclusion as to where this argument lyes. 

General to Specific:

• How does the use of digital media effect the teaching in a k12 classroom?
• This sounds like it could be a cause and effect question, but this will allow me to take a general question, and then focus on how it works in certain classrooms and situations. What works for one classroom, may not for another.
