Catw 5 4.1/ Rewired.

After  reading Rewired by Larry Rosen Ph.D, using technology as a teaching tool is a great method to learn. We all know that the young crowd is more often to pay mind if they're on a phone or computer rather than to learn from a teacher speaking and writing notes on a board.
Rewired by larry Rosen Ph.D is about how Larry Rosen really believes that the best way for preteens and teens to learn is throughtout technology like internet and cell phones. If they include school work with technology, most likely they would be needed to do work but have little interest by doing other things as long as the work gets complete. It states that the best formula to learn is 30 minutes of non teh with an hour of tech that is school work, or multitasking both. Teens may spend alot of time with friends and tech but as teens, thats how their social life is.. But using both tech with learning makes it exciting and makes everyone happy.


I believe that having technology as a tooling method is a great idea and I agree with Larry Rosen. Many teens now live on technology that it's impossible for them to go a day without. SO why not combine both. I know it's never allowed because because the department of education doesn't allow it but it's so boring to sit in a class especially with a dull teacher teaching you a subject you'll soon forget. Now combing both school and tech is the best move because we may relate.


Larry Rosen's formula of using tech for an hour and non tech for 30 minutes a good idea. I catch myself doing this all the time even in school. In my classes I use alot of internet using so why not multi-task a little fun with learning. I see other students do the same thing. I compare how I leanr to a regular classroom to a classroom that has computers,Outcome? Classrooms with tech made it interesting and doesn't make you snooze.


Larry Rosen States "  This is their social life and you cannot deny them that which helps them develop and grow." i couldn't said it better myself. Students or teens based their social life on mobile devices. Myself as a teen, I know what it's like because I grew up with technology era and I can say it's addicitng.


Rewired by Larry Rosen Ph.D shows that one person reached out and studied how us teens learn. The outcome Larry came up was great because it show that, thats the only way we teens pay mind . combing tech and learning makes everyone satisfied.

    her ideas and personal experience was good,but She needs to add to it like her response to that and her opinion
    some of her sentences were confusing,like the order of ther words.

    for example in this sentence
